Vectors to a straight-in visual approach whilst keeping the odd eye on your ILS display (not a bad idea to check that it actually works before you need it in anger!) is one thing

G-747 would be better asking for vectors to 4 miles final for a straight-in approach. There would be no harm in him glancing occasionally at the ILS needles, as he would the ASI, etc.
The way I read the first posting by G-747 that was all he was after.

I think it is also fairly safe to say that all on here would agree that any attempt to fly an IAP without appropriate training in simulated or real IMC would be foolish indeed.

With that all out of the way can we skip the aggro and have a beer?

The problem with these internet based 'conversations' is that we as humans are used to the fact that 80% of interhuman communication is non-verbal, and the lack of that 80% is evident

Those who read these messages have to bear that in mind as do those that post.

As the French say: 'C'est le ton qui fait la musique'

The likelihood that we would all get on fine if meeting up in our local is pretty good, methinks.
