Jack Ranga is spot on I reckon (not the first time)...
Why we persist with third world nav systems and circling in Australia (or elsewhere for that matter - except maybe the third world ) in 2012 is utterly beyond me and beyond logic. Besides being safer, RNAV - particularly GNSS - is affordable to any half sensible operator and should be mandated. Operators love to carry on about the cost, but the fact is they actually pay for themselves in many ways. Saying you can't afford compliant RNAV equipment in a commercial (IFR) aircraft is admitting you have not got a fu***ng clue. Just my opinion. Pretty strong one though...
