As posted elsewhere I frequently fly towards an airport that should have an ILS according to the flightplanner but doesn't have one once I get there. What is the easiest way to check if an airport actually has an ILS in the sim?
Any way to check if an airport REALLY has an ILS?

Look up the airport online and check the instrument approaches for example San Diego has an ILS on 09 and a Loc on 27.

Yes, already did that for my last flight. But I am never certain if AFS2 has every real world ILS. What is certain though is that if the real world airport doesn't have an ILS while it has one in AFS2 then AFS2 is wrong.

Smaller airports will be relying more on augmented and RNP GPS in the future as their costs will be much less than in maintaining ILS installations. The number of ILSs in up to date databases will fall.
-
I hope IPACS will follow that trend and update AFS2 accordingly.

Is there a place for maintaining legacy nav-aids just for fun?, a bit like Chicago Miegs field.
