Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on European Global Navigation Satellite System.


European Global Navigation Satellite System

By way of illustration to the hon. Gentleman, does he recognise that many of the smaller aerodromes do not have navigation aids to enable a precision approach, so the only way to achieve that on those smaller fields is by using GPS? My point was that in those circumstances, without redundancy—and especially in bad weather—there is a serious risk to the pilot of an accident.
