why would you intentionally have the aircraft configured for an approach
that you are not used to.

In the Bonanza, and in the Arrow, having the aircraft trimmed for level
flight at approach speed, and then extending the gear at the FAF makes for a
nice transition to the 500-600fpm required to capture and maintain the glide
slope on the local ILS.

Hey, all. Haven't shot instrument approaches in a complex aircraft yet,
and I'm getting ready to so I'm curious:

When you're doing a practice approach in which you know it's going to be
missed, do you complete/amend/ignore the GUMPS check? I'm guessing yes,
but I'm curious as to what others do. Finishing up my complex
endorsement
this afternoon, but haven't done any approaches in that plane yet.
