Come, come,come over to the Dark Side where you can fly practice appraoches to your hearts content...yes...even ILS approaches.....for FREE......I feel the force getting stronger inside of you....come to Land of the Free


Edinburgh in the PA-28 next week (subject to traffic).
your request is inconvenient or impossible.
ILS is badly named. It is an Instrument Approach leading to a Visual landing.
My view is that if you want to practise an ILS or any other kind of approach anywhere, use a flight sim.
For UK: From CAP393 The Air Navigation Order:
I could fly a three mile final, and almost got it right at 3.1 miles
The last time I did it there was no charge
Reading all of the above just makes me shake my head and mumble to myself.
What has aviation in Europe come to........
One measly practice ILS (yes, it is still called that way) in a Pa28 and its easier to get an audition with the pope.......


I can take an airplane, without a flightplan () hop over to the airport next door (85 total in FL ) and fly practice ILS approaches till I run out of gas without paying anything but fuel tax.
