SASless - yes, your interpretation of my post is spot on. None of the original 6 GPS approaches that were implemented for the trial are available any longer. The
trial was intended to get operational experience primarily amongst the GA crowd with a view to approval. The trial finished in Dec 06, a
report was published but as I said its now over to the airport operators to go through the formal
process to get approval for them if they want them reactivated.
I understand NATS have been looking at the possibility of some GPS Baro-VNAV type RNAV approaches into EGKK but am not sure of the status - so as far as I am aware right now they are not promulgated.
In short there are *no* public GPS RNAV approach procedures in the UK at present. That is a different matter from saying that UK operators are not approved to fly GPS RNAV approaches overseas, as a number are. Just that there are no promulgated IAP's to UK airports.
Nigeria doesn't have WAAS coverage. If it will get any SBAS coverage that will come from the much delayed EGNOS system. There are plans to expand its service across Africa, but to be honest they have to get it working for Europe first
