In the UKAIP it clearly states that this is an en route nav aid only and the VOR is owned and operated by NATS, they are the only people who regulate when it is available.
Well I never knew NATS regulate when a VOR may be used
If anyone is admitting that it is used for IMC training or any sort of approach at Perth they are lending themselves to a whole heap of much deserved trouble.
and the
ANO reference for that gem of authoritative information is precisely .......... where?
In the near future most NATS en route VORs are to be withdrawn and replaced with reporting points, NEW became NATEB recently, more to follow.
Gosh, Goatface, you really do have an inside track on the future. Perhaps you can share the "near future" timetable with us all?
Of course these "reporting points" have top secret coordinates which don't exist in any GPS database
