mjbow2...you ARE Dick Smith's pilot!...unreal, a real busdriver that hasn't got a clue.
As for you Mr sled...what's safer, an ILS or an NDB approach? Now, nobody will ever say the NDB is safer. Yet, what you are asking the bureaucrats to sign off on is the NDB approach when the ILS is safer and for the same money...that IS the comparison you are asking us to believe.
Jaba is on the money...those obstacles are SURVEYED, within that MSA is a known quantity....how many accidents on approach or departured are due to the DESIGN of those approaches or departures....answers please!
