"I see the Airservices website still has this approach published in the August 09 issue."
I guess that a new NOTAM will come out at the appropriate time prior to 9AUG09.
Maybe you need some more training, Wheels.
"Flew there the other day, and heard on the rumour mill that Air Services were puting the cost of re-surveying the approaches onto the operator, who was not prepared to pay the cost."
Sounds about right ANRO, No Pay = Air No Services
"Just revise the MDA to 2100, the actual MSA for the old procedure. Work backwards and you can attain the not below heights. There is nothing illegal about it, as you are simply airworking above the lower safe."
Pilots reworking procedure altitudes backwards to work out "not below heights" allows undertakers to live in large houses James. Not to mention how excited the Safety Gods get when they find another candidate to watch.
And I think the right word is LOWEST SAFE.
You are better off being LOWER and staying on the ground to be safe mate....your wife and kids need you.
