Just an update.

The road at the 06 end is apprently getting shut on tuesday this week.

They still have to get calibrator up to certify it fit for use. After paper work etc should be looking at it going active in 4-6 weeks.
But...... who knows they still have the problem of painting the new runway markings etc etc.

I also hear they are removing the VOR procdure so even if the base is enough for the old VOR approach everyone will have to do the ILS procedure, which could on a none visual day rack up a fair amount of holding time compared to previously. Or on a visual day when the jets do the procedure and all the TP traffic is stuck in the hold above them.

We shall see.
