I was of the impression that it was because the Swiss had over flown Germany about 4x the agreed no. of flights for the last n years? Am I wrong? Was the use of 28 not due to this reason? Why has ZRH not previously installed ILS onto 34? Was it not due to the fact that the approach path took aircraft over prestigious lakeside properties over Lake Zurich?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

All procedures are safe if flown correctly - on this occasion it was not. This raises the question as to what could be done to make it safer - the report would appear to ignore some opportunities - ie an ILS.

This report supresses the real issues re ZRH - the lack of decent instrument approaches to all runways at the expense of safety for the benefit of a a few rich ZRH inhabitants in the city, who for decades have abused the rights of their German neighbours.
