Actually, now that you mention it, I do remember one time that I was flying a non-precision
GPS approach and when I asked for vectors to final, the controller
said she didn't have the final approach fix on her map. That pretty much blew
me away, but she cleared me to final anyway. I just had to get there by myself.
That was actual conditions, and my first flight in actual conditions, but
it all worked out well.
I will do an ILS if there is no precision RNAV/GPS and the conditions may require
it, although I realize there may be very few of those left, and for proficiency.
Very few of my flights actually require an approach, but I often ask for
an approach just to keep current and proficient. I don't fly as much as I'd
like to, which is likely the case for most of us.

there was no problem. It was out a ways like Kelly said on the intercept and
even after the intercept (10-12 miles) that the signal was erratic. Reno is a
real acid test of these antennas.

My home airport defaults to ILS for vectors.The waas approaches are very
cool but that extra 50 feet often makes a differnce in our tule fog.I wou
d be curious to here the CA central coast guys chime in.-Jim loving waas
but still defaulting to ILS when possible
PS they will give you waas when you ask for it but if they {norcal} is bus
y at all you will get delaying vectors or a hold if weather is IMC..Just
my 2 cents

Do you ever do the ILS for something other than proficiency?

I have been reviewing the plans regarding the nose wheel assembly. On the fork
we install a zerk/grease fitting on the front, and plug the top, haven't found
reference to servicing. I am going to use the same Aeroshell lube as the wheel
bearings unless anyone has found a better solution.
