Delay after Delay !!

I just don't know how much longer the UK can delay the introduction of GPS approaches and can't understand the reasons for NOTAM's saying that most of these approaches are not avalable.

The introduction of GPs approaches was ment to help the GA sector now that it is getting harder to find an airfield that will except you for an ILS because GA is being priced out of the regonal airports by the low service (sorry low cost) airlines.

Now what do we get........... GPS approaches approved at LHR and LGW !!!!!! hardly a help to GA.

For an aircraft owner who has had the GPS approach kit installed for fourteen years this is becoming a sick joke and typical of he foot dragging head in the sand attitude of the UK aviation authoritys.

Can someone please tell us when we will be able to make a GPS approach at a UK airfield that is avalable to GA?
