Just for the background, I'm from India and am considering FSA for my ab initio to CPL training. I'm debating between going to Aerospace Aviation in Sydney and FSA. I've never heard of a school where we can practice ILS approaches but if I can practice that around FSA, it would be an advantage I guess later.
Thanks for all your replies.

The ILS approach is one of the main components of the instrument rating. Regardless of which school you attend, you will practice many ILS approaches. The only difference would be the cost (I don't know how the Australian airspace system works). If they charge user fees for each approach, you'll end up spending a lot of money for those practice approaches....in the U.S. it's essentially free, so the training costs may be a lot less.
if you're starting with zero time at FSA, you'll start working on instrument approaches in the 4th phase of training...approximately 7 months into the program. MLB is Melbourne, Florida....about 30 miles north of Vero Beach. Fort Pierce is about 10 miles south of Vero Beach. Titusville is about 50 miles north of Vero Beach, and is another favorite airport for ILS approaches.
