FS,

No, and I agree.

Sometimes our english humour is misinterpreted by you chaps further west. I was (rather obtusely, I agree) drawing attention to the fact that in UK our IFR rules are different. We are NOT allowed to use GPS as a primary navaid instead of radio beacons, only as a backup. The post from GLS about using GPS waypoints in lieu of a serviceable beacon is NOT valid in our part of the world.

In fact there has been a very recent proposal by the CAA to legislate against "unpublished" approaches at airfields. This appears to be aimed at outlawing GPS letdowns.

Things will undoubtedly change one day but we do seem to lag behind the rest of the world in some respects.
