Why would you think this??? It's not in the usual VFR syllabus.

I considered my VFR instructor an outstanding instructor, and not once did
we even look at the ILS features of NAV1 or NAV2.

His focus for teaching me landing techniques was outside the cockpit, not
on instruments inside.

Now, this all changed in my instrument training *smile*.
