There's a thread here somewhere...

Somewhere here I remember a thread about the installation of ILS on RWY 28 in ZRH. Bloody good idea and about time too.

The sleepy residents of Kloten should realise that the ILS is for their benefit too. Without it, aircraft will still enforcedly land at night, over their heads, but without the guidance of a G/S on a steep approach, which is currently only catered for by a less than easy non-precision approach which has already brought down one aircraft within a few KM of their village.

It would seem for once, that the noise lobbyers of northern Switzerland's real complaint is with the noise lobbyers of Southern Germany whose will has displaced the traffic from the normally natural landing RWYs of 14 and 16.
