Akro, there has never been a request made to us for a practice training approach. I have no knowledge of it ever being put on the work list. It certainly isn't there now and is not likely to be in the near future.
Yet there it is in publicly available minutes of a CASA committee - downloadable from the CASA website. Chaired by Nick Borely of CASA with Tim Penney of CASA in attendance and Kent Quigley representing Airservices. Nick Borely provided a timeline of the work to complete the training IAP.

At the following meeting (13 October 2011), the minutes were this meeting were accepted as correct with Peter Comarty, Graeme Rogers (chair) and Matt Stein representing CASA and Bob Scott representing Airservices Australia.

Furthermore (without the CWS training IAP) safety concerns were expressed about lack of IAP training facilities in the Melbourne basin at the 18 April meeting 2013 with Graeme Rogers (chair), Owen Richards and Thomas Hawley representing CASA and Kent Quigley representing Airservices Australia.

Once again, these minutes were accepted as correct at the 25 July 2013 meeting with Owen Richards, Cheryl, Allman (chair) and Malcolm McGregor representing CASA and Kent Quigley representing Airservices Australia.

So.....someone is fibbing

In the meantime last week, LTV was U/S, YWE was U/S and CWS has no IAP nor does WON and the PCK NDB has been decommissioned.
