Full procedure versu vectors

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.

Vectors are easier to the controller because then I get to control the
proceedings. If you're doing the PT then there's no telling when you
actually start down final. Doesn't work as well with other traffic.

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.

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

Pretty much. If you need to do it you need to do it. if it's just for fun
or practice, you're blocking traffic if there is any.

"Request full GPS 16 approach" should be sufficient.

Yes, I use that a lot. The one I use around his " If you can fit me in
I would like the ILS 10 Right with the Procedure turn."

Xactly.

Can you elaborate on why you feel the full precure is easier than
vectors?

It is more predictable because it's published. No chance of miscommunication
on vectors. No constantly adjusting the heading bug. No chance of the
controller bringing you around too close for an automatic glideslope couple.

Vectors is very easy. But letting the GPS steering do the full approach and
autocouple the WAAS glideslope is even easier.
