When you say managed from elsewhere, how does that work?
I've never flown GA in the US and am most unlikely ever to do so in the future, so let's say you're flying from X to Y where Y has a GPS approach managed by Z.
Would Z have a radar feed (primary/secondary/both) for Y? Would all those going to Y speak to Z or may some speak to someone else? What about non-radio traffic? What sort of process would follow?
Sorry edited to add.... these approaches presumably need an IR? What proportion of US GA pilots have an IR?
