Flew two ILSs yesterday after not doing one for a couple of months - rust really setting in!
First was procedural (Cambridge). Second was radar vectored back at home base. What it did get me thinking though was that in IMCR training because we trained to the IMCR ILS DH of 500ft, we flew the ILS at 90kt to keep up with traffic and didn't make any configuration changes until after the decision point. On NPAs we flew the entire approach configured for low level circuit (75kt/2 stages flap - all this in PA28 btw) to reduce workload on circling approaches.
As a result I'm unable to change configuration on the ILS approach without starting to 'lose it' with the trim change.
What do others do in similar ac flying to lower minima - fly the approach slower (i.e. take the config change at GS intercept, which is when I slow to 90kt) and hold up the other traffic, or cope with the config change at say 500ft just before decision height?
