Given that accident rates on ILSs seem to be significantly lower than on
non-precision approaches (for both light GA and corporate) I was just
thinking that we should really be pushing for more LNAV/VNAV and LPV
approaches as a safety issue. I wonder how many crashes have occurred on
missed approaches that might have been avoided had LPV minima been
available
and capable of getting the plane into the airport.

When are GPS approaches for places like this, and thousands of others
going
to be available?


There was nothing difficult about these approaches. The LOC at that airport
was quite timple. If they cannot read the chart for a LOC approach, what
makes you think that any new approach will be better?


Seems like more effort should be made towards this end.
