If funding is the problem, and it certainly appears to be so after all this time, then these approaches are never likely to arrive because none of those airfields are likely to recover the survey cost from extra traffic.

IMCR training is nearly dead now (due to the uncertainty); JAA IR training is largely based on 1960s navaids, you need mandatory ATC for any instrument approach anyway, so what is the point in anybody paying for it?

Especially as anybody half smart can (and does) fly the NDB approach using GPS.

Very sad.
