cldvrv: Agreed, but pax don't need to die in the meantime. Surely set up a precision 0.3/0.5nm (GPS) GNSS approach (or whatever version they do or are called in the USA), at least gives badly trained pilots something to hang their hat on and perhaps prevent a crash. I enjoy a visual as much as the next pilot, but I know it will take years to change pilot culture back to hand flying skills (which are starting to be pushed again).

We are talking a major international airport at SFO. Even my little regional airport base EGBB has arranged RNAV GNSS for the upcoming ILS closure. Flew one today, could have been on an ILS.
