As per my understanding this is ongoing discussions and concerns regarding the 2030 mandate to replace Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) with space-based approach aids, such as Ground-Based Augmentation Systems (GBAS) and Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). I believe there is active debate going on among the Aviation community experts whether timeline targeted 2030 is good enough of not.
Dear Simon, we have also an interest in this movement. Not only for its possible postponing, but also regarding specific airports for which ILS minima are still better than GBAS/SBAS ones.
It may be helpful to clarify that the Mandate being discussed is the so-called PBN-IR and it currently applies only to ILS CAT I operations, which are supposed to only be available for contingency operations after the cutoff date in the EU; PBN approach operations (LPV, LNAV/VNAV or LNAV) being offered by default. The mandate explicitly excludes ILS CAT II/III or GBAS operations and the related installations A number of questions need discussion, not only the target timeline as regards airborne capability, but also how the EU definition of contingency is related to ICAO provisions and all the aspects of GNSS interference risk.
