Here I blame the authorities in aviation for the very slow turning wheels and huge costs of getting such approaches approved
This has forced many pilots into the home made unapproved risky approaches
The authorities could approve approaches Quicker and at far less cost albeit with higher minima !
But maybe GA and small airfields don't really figure highly in importance the rate these airfields are being closed and turned into housing estates
The bigger airports don't want us as the pricing shows hence something will have to be done to stop light GA turning into a sunny afternoon hobby sport
