It is interesting the way some people seem to interpret "no speed control" (sounds like some the approaches described in this thread! )

It would appear that some take it as free reign to come screaming down the ILS at 200+ knots to 4D and the throw out the anchor to get it all back together in time for landing. If I'm given "free speed" I will use that to adjust my descent accordingly and usually start to reduce to 250 knots at about 6000' but I still aim to be 210 knots Flap1 at about 10D and take F2 just before the glide - if you don't the only way to get the bus to slow is the gear. After that it's just a normal approach. Boring? sensible? predictable? No, Yes, Yes.
