You miss my point. I said for a "practice" approach. If it's IMC, or if I'm on an IFR flight plan, I would expect to be asked what approach I want and may well choose an ILS.

If I'm on a VFR flight plan (or no flight plan at all) but want an ILS for practice (which I often do), then I book it first and tell them it's for practice. If I'm "under the hood" (cos it's nice VMC outside) then I take a safety pilot, too.

That's what I was taught, and that's what I do.


If I'm "practising" but it's IMC and I'm under IFR, then I don't "book" it. That's what I meant by "IMC/IFR" above.

Don't be so pesky aggressive! Nonsense it ain't. What my IFR instructor taught me, it is.
