GPS approaches are very very big capability improvements. There are many downsides to traditional ground based aids. Most major airports still have both, but it usually comes down to cost. Maintaining a GPS approach only involves approach plate amendments for basic approaches. There are GPS based approaches that also use ground based components though.
I think GPS is still a massive game changer, particularly for smaller airports that canâ(TM)t afford the ground based aids.
So to calibrate your post, itâ(TM)s not about the pilots here, they still use fly in a very similar way, still utilising autopilot. If the interference is only out to 40Nm then it wonâ(TM)t really have an effect on navigation. Inertial Nav will take over the role of GPS as they approach. Worst case, they can be radar vectored.
