Someone posed the quesion of ILS in the Tin-Can with no PAR monitoring/SRA only monitoring....

You simply have to treat the ILS as a LLZ only procedure and apply the appropriate MDH.

We have a problem with sticking G/S needles (nice!) so you have to constantly refer to the DME vs Ht data on the TAP even on a monitored ILS for that warm and fuzzy feeling.

Basically I don't ever use the PAR, since if it's cr@p there's the monitored ILS and if it's better than that you're practically obliged to use SRA to steer clear of the limitations.

The current RPAR is a fantastic piece of kit for sanitised class D airspace operations, but for the humble MATZ with all it's various traffic it is a waste of space.

Tin-Can due for TCAS which I believe may also provide non-sticking needles - might avoid need of monitoring, lets hope.
