On my FAA checkride, years ago the the ILS at the local airport was
down for work. The night before my CFII and I went out to practice at
the next biggest airport only to find the glideslope dead. The only
other airport available is the local class C airport but they
discourage practice ILSs by requiring full stop for all approaches
(which makes the checkride take forever, if you have to line up before
the SouthWest 737s each time). Luckily someone came out and fixed the
glide slope at the airport.
