The original poster might be a bit of a troll, but maybe he's picked up on a good point here?

Why can't just about every training airfield be equipped with a training ILS system? For the sake of safety let's call it non-certified and allow it to be only active during VMC conditions. Pilot's under training could use it with a vision obscurring device and with an instructor on board. Everyone else could just use it to practice.

I've seen a 500USD ILS capable handheld reciever advertised somewhere, surely people in some place like China can build an ILS transmitter for say 5000 USD.
