you may be able to answer this one...what law are you breaking (if any) if someone wants to 'practise' a let-down procedure out of aerodrome hours? I'm thinking of the likes of Cranfield, Southampton, Newcastle where the VORs are H24 but the airport is closed. The beacon is in tolerance and idented, the procedure is valid and flown correctly. There's no airspace to infringe (it closes with the aerodrome). Fly not below 500ft agl.

My gut feeling is that this isn't sensible, but I can't see where to justify that feeling in Law. Thoughts?
