ILS is very good but really not required for 34 YMML. The 787 is Gnss Rnp capable and can virtually get over the end of the runway on centreline on a 3* path by itself if the pilots know what they are doing without any nav aids. Lnav and Vnav are enormously capable in this aircraft and yet the crew didn't use it correctly. Also when is ATC going to modernise there thinking and stop stuffing around with VOR radials. Bloody stuck in the 70s. GBAS approach could also be an alternative.
