I don't remember any of that in this thread. People have suggested
that (a) GPS needs ground-based backup like VOR, NDB, or LORAN for
safety, (b) other countries have trouble relying exclusively on a
system controlled by the U.S. military, and (c) the transition will
take a while, but I don't remember any postings claiming that GPS
precision approaches cannot or will not work -- everyone seems to be
looking forward to them.


All the best,
