Abstract

This article focuses on comparing USA’s and Europe’s legislative attitude to establishing instrument approaches at uncontrolled airports. It tries to indicate the differences and the reasons which lead to these differences. The purpose is to identify things which are done correctly and should be followed as an example and, on the other hand, to recognize procedures which should not be followed and repeated.
