It seems that recently approach charts have appeared labeled "ILS or LOC" -- examples are at HAO and RMN. Is this a change? Why? In the past ILS approaches with an underlying LOC would still be titled "ILS".

If you are planning to invest in an installed system then I agree the WSI system is the best at this point. It is a "transmission" rather than "request" system so therefore you can get continually updated weather data. Even more importantly, WSI is an extremely well-established entity in...
