but now with Nav Canada it costs an arm and a leg to set up an "aproved" GPS apch, so many operators have an "in house" apch set up at many strips, this is progress?
It's not an issue of "progress." Establishing IAPs is a very expensive process. In the U.S. it seems free because the taxpayers at large foot the bill. It's only a matter of time before that method of funding comes to an end in the U.S.
