We are still waiting for an answer to MikeJ's question.
Some one must know why these approches that are published in the Jepp manual, in the aircraft database, in the UK AIP, the aircraft eqipment is all approved and the flight manual amendments are writen so why oh why are these aproches still NOTAMED as not in use?
I would like to think that there is a good reason for this but it is becoming very hard to see why a system that the biggest aviation nation in the world has been using for years can't work in the UK.
The system works very well only last week I made a GPS aproach in France, proving that it is even safe if a G is painted on the aircraft!
All the bits of the jigsaw are in place but still no GPS approches....... WHY?
