They are finally doing something about this but only for the arrivals from the south which is rarely used. They are proposing a GPS based system which is apparently the future solution although sounds like the cheap option to me.
Come on Rivet Joint, check your facts before bumbling in to a statement like that. Approaches from the South account for approximately 45% of the SOU approaches. Given that there is no consistent instrument approach for runway 02, not to mention the lack of a lighting system to support appropriate minima, give the guys at Southampton some credit for developing a cost effective solution to this problem. This will be applauded by the resident airlines who would ultimately have to pay for an expensive ILS development in their operating costs. My airline for one will be happy with the solution that our operating costs and passenger fares do not have to pay for.
Southampton would be damned if they were doing nothing about the 02 approach problem, so give them some credit for dealing with a long term problem that is certain to get worse if/when the DVOR is withdrawn.
