20driver - we are only just getting ILS installed at our major airports, even places like Melbourne still dont have ILS on all runways, and to have a CAT 2 or CAT 3 is a pipe dream indeed (although to be fair conditions rarely occur such that CAT2/3 is needed). There is no chance of an ILS at smaller non-towered aerodromes. In fact there is a good chance the only navaid is an ancient NDB. Its a little bit behind the times in certain places, and the government only spends money after an accident occurs.
