On a different note, is there any feedback on the GPS approach trial that was being conducted last year?

Last I heard is that the CAA is going to introduce them this year.

Presumably, at the airports that have the existing NP approaches.

No progress (that I am aware of) on the real key issue: doing away with mandatory ATC for an IAP. Mandatory ATC would cost somewhere into 6 digits per year even for day coverage and this prevents most GA airfields getting GPS approaches. I know people are plugging away on this one.
