Yeah.

In 2010, ICAO resolution A37-11 set the goal that all instrument runway ends world-wide shall have APV (3D) approach procedures by 2016, with 70% to be completed by this year. Under some exceptions, straight-in 2D LNAV approaches may be substituted.

While this lofty goal will be hard to reach, the transition to RNAV/GNSS/PBN as the primary method for approaches seem inevitable.

Here's the 2012 snapshot of the progress towards that goal, with a number of member states already achieving much, from the ICAO database:

State (% PBN Runways completed, 2012)

Finland -- 96%
United States -- 94%
New Zealand -- 94%
Kenya -- 93%
Australia -- 91%

Austria -- 79%
Canada -- 75%
Egypt -- 71%

Brazil -- 62%
Germany -- 54%
Czech Republic -- 53%
Chile -- 52%

Costa Rica -- 40%
France -- 38%
Denmark -- 37%
Norway -- 36%
Switzerland -- 35%
Singapore -- 33%

Netherlands -- 26%
Thailand -- 24%
Japan -- 23%
Indonesia -- 21%
Russian Federation -- 20%
United Kingdom -- 19%
Spain -- 14%

China -- 9%
Ecuador -- 9%
Italy -- 8%
Sweden -- 5%
Turkey -- 3%

Mexico -- 2%
India -- 1%
Belgium -- 0%
Greece -- 0%
Ireland -- 0%
Israel -- 0%

(*) A number of small states with few instrument runways are either at 100% or 0% completion.
(**) These are 2012 numbers (latest in the published database), many states have made considerable progress since.
