ILS Training in the South

Hi,

I am after some information for a project I am working on and would be grateful for your constructive feedback.

If you live in the South and have the need to practice ILS approaches, I would be interested to know the following:
  • Which airports ILS do you use most frequently? (and why you chose it!)
  • How much do you pay per approach?
  • Do you pay up front or does your club/FTO have an account?
  • Are there any special deals on approaches if you upload fuel/land?
I have already looked at costs of some aerodromes but I would now like your feedback!

I know the subject of cost is always an emotive one but the ILS at an airport is one of the most costly systems to implement and maintain. Please do appreciate that more and more airports are now having to charge for the use of their facilities to counter act the cost of falling passenger numbers and the rising cost of APD and other taxes the government has no need to impose. Please do not use my thread as a forum to rant about the cost of flying as my responses may offend!

This thread is all about getting honest feedback so I can ensure future value for money.

I thank you for your feedback
