Just a question n the minimum clean speed.
I agree that it makes more sense, however if the a/c is at min Clean speed and you bank hard to captue the inbound radial or the ILS then surely the margin above the stall is greatly reduced.
Would it therefore be better to fly Min Clean Speed +10kts or apply the first stage of flap before the final part of the arc.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Some aircraft default to a lower speed due to the risk of birdstrike below FL100 or FL80. Could this be a reason?
