there is no 34 ILS because it's not needed
maybe not from a wx point of view.

long established that anything with a managed vertical profile is many times safer than the old npa's. rnav's mitigate that nowadays but they are relatively recent things from that point of view.

and that depends on capability as paid for by the operator too.

is it true that tiger 320's still cannot fly a vor approach fully managed? word was they hadn't paid for the necessary database. what about the air india 787's?

just because a type can do something dont necessarily assume the operator has installed the necessary options or trained the crew to utilise same
