I had always thought that IAPs were prohibited in the UK unless ATC was in place at the airfield - mainly due to stuff I read on here and other forums. However, CAP 797 seems to suggest otherwise. In particular, it talks about FISOs providing an air traffic service to aircraft conducting instrument approaches on page 70 paragraph 8.11, page 84 paragraph 8.87 and section 12 on page 99.
Section 12 of CAP 797 mentions CAP 1122, which is called "Application for instrument approach procedures to aerodromes without an instrument runway and/or approach control". That also seems to suggest ATC isn't mandatory for an instrument approach.
So, my question: why don't we have IAPs without full ATC? Or am I simply misinformed?
