I have to say; as a local resident with an aviation interest and unaffected by the flight path, the airport's management have done a spectacularly crap job of selling the ILS. They quite happily went along with the original public perception that the ILS would only be turned on when aircraft would otherwise consider diverting. Once the public realised that they were being told porkies and demanded answers, management have been caught out in a series of fumbles, eg putting up diversion stats that pre-dated the availability of the RNP, thus making it look as if the existing issue was worse than it in fact is; nett result being that there is a perception that the airport is hiding something and is not to be trusted. #PRfail
