So what should I say: "Request full GPS 16 approach if you're not too busy?"

With my 530 upgraded to WAAS, I think it's easier to fly full
procedure GPS approaches rather than take vectors. Does it complicate
life for controllers when you request the full procedure? I get the
feeling that they would rather vector me on the ILS than have me shoot
a GPS full approach.

I like the GPS full approach but I don't want to be irritating
controllers and mucking up things by doing so.


Depends. if you are the only one in the sky, they couldn't care less.

Ad some traffic and stir lightly and you have a different story.
