Atm Qantas 737 can use a DA of 393ft as a minima on Rwy 14 so not far off an ILS type minima now. Definitely a ploy by QF/JQ as they won't have an advantage as they do now when the weather is down. Surely Virgin is looking at RNP-AR approaches are they? They offer ILS type minima to pretty much any airport even CTAF'S. It's not that their aircraft are not capable... When the weather is down they pay their due, only a year ago just got visual in Mount ISA at 340ft agl minima during a dust storm, no one else was getting in. The future technology is gearing towards RNP curved approaches with auto land to Cat 3 conditions, probably happen in 10 years or so. Pretty much any airport will be able to be used auto land as long as they have a published approach, and it won't be GLS, it will be a really cheap GPS augmentor installed for a price tag of a few thousand dollars at the airport. That's where technology is heading.
