I guess that, in years to come, we will see a lot of "sub 737 size" airfields around Europe go all-GPS.

Currently, this is not the case, which is just as well.

In the UK, it hardly matters because the mandatory-ATC requirement keeps GPS approaches from spreading to where they might be really useful.

Hopefully the idiots at EASA will be straightened out by then, otherwise few people will be flying these approaches.

I am just a bit cheesed off that much of the regulation in this game is done by such complete idiots, living in some hole in the ground information-wise while enjoying the fat expenses-fuelled EU lifestyle.
