Q: CYKF (Kitchener/Waterloo Regional) ILS RWY 25

There is a farm silo to the south of the threshold of RWY 25.

Thanks for that info -- I wonder why it's not on the plate.

Now, why did they let a farmer build a silo that penetrated the
(normally) protected airspace for an ILS approach? Or did the ILS
approach go in after the silo?

I took a quick glance, and I didn't find any other ILS approach in
Ontario or Quebec with a 500 ft DH -- it must hardly be worth the cost
of maintaining the transmitters.


All the best,
