New 16R LLZ

The 16R LLZ is being rebuilt by Airservices. Because there is a road behind where the old one was they had to put the new one in front (north of old location). This means that any vehicles working on the new one and the new LLZ would interfere with the signal. So as to minimise the total time out of action the new one is being built whilst the old one is being dismantled.

you will notice ATC trying to use any other Rwy direction that the wind allows for during this period so as to provide an ILS app. But as nature has decide at the moment, winds blow from the south this week. Good timing!
