Re the ILSs being withdrawn for renewal, no problems there but it's not very good timing, obviously there was no industry consultation done by CAA or PNG Airservices on this decision, no surprises there !
I do recall the Cairns ILS being out last September, at least that wasn't done in the middle of the monsoonal season ! Just really bad luck that Cairns had unseasonal weather at that time.
Tinny, The severity of some of the CB's and the associated weather around them is getting more intense I recon.
I guess what I'm trying to say here guys/girls is don't take unnecessary risks as we don't want to have any more deaths.
