Is there any truth to the rumor that one of the ILN CAT II ILS's (22L?) is out of tolerance and may be decertified by the FAA during this fall's recertification inspections.

Also are all the ILS's privately owned and, if so, who maintains them?

Probably just bullshot rumors like I said, but thought someone here might know ...

wouldn't be surprised if 22L/4R got shut down completely. We certainly don't need two runways any more.
 
FDC for 22L is due to the missed approach procedure. Have not heard anything about problems with the ILS being part of the reason for the FDC.

That being said I agree with DC9er, this airpark does not need two runways any more.

DHL ownes the airport, ILS's, buildings's etc.
 
Thanks.

You are correct about the missed procedure. I've had clarification that the ILN VOR problems that have been around for a really loooong time are the problem. Or perhaps more correctly, the lack of money to fix the thing is the problem.

Safety - at (almost) any cost!

DHL does not own the VOR that still belongs to the FAA. The FAA has been slow to fix the VOR at times and yes that is probably do to money.
 
Is the private control tower still needed? We used the unicom freq long ago.

I think the FAA would have a hard time signing off the airport without the tower as long as DHL is still there. Dayton has always controlled the airspace through the tower in ILN as their eyes for takeoff and landings.

"Dayton", "control" and "airspace" in the same sentence? Thanks for the laugh Shooter. :D
