Agree with Slippery Pete's sentiments, if not his maths. Trying to get ASA interested in an AWIB and Baro VNAV approach design into a large regional, ILS and tower equipped aerodrome in Australia. ASA could care less. Can I hang a transmitter off some ASA infrastructure, that's already got a feed from the Met station? ? No way mate, that's ours, bugger off. ILS's everywhere?, Yeh right, $2-3million a pop and ASA set the price for maintenance. Plus the HIALs to make an ILS actually usable at $?? million.
ASA do the absolute minimum these days. Have no interest in aviation and are just lumbered with some historic obligations to provide ATC, RFS and a few Navaids. All these are obligations ASA would rather operate without.
