Here we go again. A&B Council have today issued a tender for SBAS Instrument Flight Procedures at Oban, Coll and Colonsay. I thought that had been properly knocked on the head the first time round when someone sensible pointed out that having a 1011ft hill 2km from the 19 threshold not only means you couldn't design a procedure to 01 with an MDH any better than just flying VFR, it also meant that the 2/3rds of the time when you'd want to land on 19, the circling minimum to allow you to do that would be 1300ft+ so again you'd be better just flying VFR.

But we'll see whether anyone puts a bid in.
