So this happened ... this afternoon I went into dispatch at the Rockcliffe Flying Club (CYRO - 3,300 ft runway, only 1,700 ft lit at night, VFR only) to tell them that I'd be ending my membership and moving across the river to Gatineau Airport in the new year (CYND - 6,000 ft runway, fully lit, two LPV approaches down to 250 ft AGL). They said "oh, we're getting an instrument approach in March." That's after 11 years of the club talking about it, setting up committees that never meet, etc.

So I'm waiting for details before finalising my decision. I'm sure it will be just LNAV, not LPV, but if it gets me down to 400-500 ft AGL, that will be good enough most days. Tough choice ahead.
