If you want to improve your competance in flying ILS approaches e.t.c. then invest in a computer flight simulator. Even in the earliest days of the late 80's when the first realistic ones came out, I have seen examples of computer practice helping inexperienced pilots flying ILS approaches to I.R. standards. In one case, I suggested to a computer enthusiast who knew nothing about flying that he practice using one of these early flight sims. Then I put him in a C 152. He could fly the thing as though he had at least 5 hours experience. Then I gave him an ILS approach to do. He flew a radar vectored one down to 200' AGL without difficulty!
