Can a VFR pilot fly an ILS approach?
VFR pilots may be permitted to fly the ILS as a special straight-in approach to the runway in VFR conditions only. At a towered field, you must first get your clearance from ATC to land straight in. Because instrument traffic may be on the same approach, make initial contact with ATC earlier than usual.
