A more general question from a lowly PPL working on my IR : Why is there an apparent reluctance to create published satellite based approaches in Europe?
For GA airports, this must be much cheaper (and therefore affordable in a declining GA market) than creating and maintaining ground based navaids (apart from NDBs : there is one for sale for £350 on EBay).
Increasing the number of published approaches at say 3,000 ft to 5,000 ft runways across Europe would surely increase safety dramatically.
