Default Winds on approach

You are timing your ILS approaches? Any reason for this? I can't find
anything in my 172P book that suggests 90 kts as an approach speed, even in
gusty winds. Seems fast to me.


IF one times their ILS, and loses the glideslope, one can often convert
to a localizer approach easily. And approach plates give canned timings
for various speeds, 90 knots is probably the best of the bunch for a
172. Of course that's ground speed, not airspeed.
