Given that EGKA now operates an ATC tower service on all days except for Sunday, has there been any news on the reinstatement of the instrument approaches?
I think November is the latest hope.
Is that more CAA-dependent or do EGKA first want to reinstate a 7-day ATCO coverage?
Great to see the IAPs to be reintroduced on 7 Nov as a key alternate airport was missing in Southern England (as published in the AIRAC 12/2019 AMDT):
Interestingly the TAA and MSA altitudes have increased (less operationally relevant) but the circling minima have decreased, and in the case of the RNAV 20 approach, the LNAV minimum has gone down by 40 ft, which is good news from an operational perspective.
Excellent news.
The new owner of the operating lease makes money by designing IAPs so they probably know which buttons in the CAA to push.

Nothing yet in Jepps (cycle 21).
Hm, weird that Jeppesen doesn’t have the electronic/paper charts published yet for this upcoming AIRAC cycle but it seems to be in their NAV database:
Maybe the waypoints were always there?
