If the aid does not have a LANDING approach attached to it, does it still require flight inspection?

There are some navaids which have training procedures. AsA was supposed to have created one for CWS after the Philip Is approach was withdrawn, but... we got the usual inactivity and procrastination and now the aid has been shut down.

The Wonthaggi aid was regularly used for training before it was shutdown. Many of us used the Mudgee approach which is high enough above the terrain to not be any problem.

If AsA had a real commitment to air safety, it would provide some training / currency aids and procedures.
