INNFlight. I used to be a consultant at Nice for safety and security, the black star is given by airlines to some airports. Management hates it.
Airlines (globally) tend to standardize the operation at any given place, as a safety standpoint it is easier to achieve such metrics with an ILS to the runway. In this committee the most representative airlines told us that they have a guidance from the MAP to the threshold ( this is 5 years ago), and the GNSS are from 2012.
Airline are now the only body represented in these safety meetings, no GA at all.
Last year quasi CFIT was equal between GA and airlines 2 each...on RWY 22 Approach in marginal weather of course. One was from an airline that was not RNAV, and dialed in the wrong radial to intercept, another one from the GA was an incorrect waypoint manually entered.. This scheme repeat itself with time, hence this proposal. ( they already know the answer, the same survey was sent 6 years ago..)
