You're still VFR while flying IFR practice approaches. No
separation or terrain warning is provided.

FAA policy is to provide separation to VFR aircraft while conducting

that means Class D airspace or higher with good radar coverage.


Some background:


Order JO 7210.3V Facility Operation and Administration

Thanks, Steven!

I always learn lots when you post helpful stuff like that. I now have
better understanding of what's really going on.
