Or maybe not being able to land in the very worst weather conditions (something many modern planes can’t do anyway) is an ok tradeoff for not supporting a genocidal regime and its war industry? Also what #1 said, ILS exists

I also know it’s a niche emerging technology that hundreds of millions of passenger flights have operated safely without for decades. If you can’t see the ground at MDA/DA, you divert somewhere you can

Even without an ILS non-precision approaches can handle the majority of weather conditions you will encounter

You literally just admitted it’s not needed. Yes it makes a few more landings *possible*, it doesn’t make any approaches safer because those where it’s needed would simply be safely conducted go-arounds without it. And my original argument was that it might be worth having slightly less low vis capability in exchange for not supporting an industry aiding in genocide. That’s really up to Ireland as it’s their plane

It was delivered without it not installed then removed, thus one less system procured from Elbit
