Its getting real expensive for G.A. operators at Gold Coast, the cost of installing and maintaining an ILS, and and initial and ongoing training of controllers would get passed on to all uses of the airport, i.e. increasing the costs for G.A., where the major benifit would be RPT jets.
Does the cost/benifit justify such a facility given the statistically small number hours a year that existing approaches will not result in a landing ?
With the terrain around the airport I would have thought a MLS facility or DGPS would be better than ILS in any case.
