I was aware of has-gs, but hadn't noticed nav-loc. I'll have to investegate more. In the mean time, I notice that ILS is always 108-111.975 MHz (1) Does that mean VORs are always above 111.975 MHz? Too bad ICAO Annex 10 isn't available online :( Perhaps I should test this hypothesis using grep and our navaids database. Or even funner, I could finally get around to importing our navaids database into an SQLLite database...
