If you want practice ILS on a nice day then phone your nearest Mil airfield, have a chat with the tower staff and find out when they will be quiet/how much it'll cost/if they are in a position to accept civil PDs.

Where I work we have paying customers from the civil fraternity that come for ILS and PAR once or twice a month.

You'll always take back-seat to the operational stuff, but a chat to the tower staff should easily identify a quiet time when they will be happy to accept you.

It's a quieter way of trying the procedure without being in the thick of the transport heavies.
