Hi Cloudy et-al

ILS 28 is still an issue; however being postponed due to several problems with terrain profile and reflection surfaces of nearby surrounding buildings distorting the ILS signal.

While the bugs of ILS 28 are being worked on, an ILS 34 is being implemented. There as well, the buildings in the vicinity are a bit of a hassle such as the SRT hangar 3 which does not agree with Annex 14 areas and the Zurich Berg in turn goes not agree with Pans-ops areas.
However, it seems as though its all pretty good negotiated now and is awaiting the governments OK.
Another reason for preferring 34 over 28 at this point is the LDA. With a new THR at Romeo/Echo 8 where a bit more than 3200m will be available.
Once we got the ILS 34 done, ILS 28 will be tackled.

p.s.
How ‘bout a beer at the Hecht?
