In an ideal world the ILS should be within the controlled airspace but like quite a few in the UK, it sadly was not. An accident waiting to happen? Hmmm.......

On another note, the amount of traffic reports I recieve on a daily basis with "height unknown" (no transponder or simply not squarking mode C?) is seriously begining to irk me when all the safety groups have been banging on about the requirement to squark mode C (if equipped) or to have a transponder switched on.

Work as a flying instructor for a week and see how many people forget or choose not to switch it on, when they have been told time and time again about it's importance.
