IFR to Charlotte in a Mooney

Anyone flown IFR into CLT in a piston single? I've got a commercial
flight leaving CLT next month. I'd be flying in around 4pm on
weekday.

Thanks!

Doubt you would have a problem, but you could call Charlotte ATC (phone
numbers in AOPA directory) and ask if they have a "push" at that time.
Sometimes changing by 30 mins to avoid the push will save you some delays.

I flew into CLT about 6 or 7 years ago in an Archer, when US Air was
somewhat busier than they are now.
No real problems... I came in from the south-southwest and started
getting vectors about 30-40 miles out. The only real "problem" I had
was that the controllers changed the planned runway on me three times
during the approach (VFR conditions, thankfully). None of the changes
caused any real problems for me, so no real issue and I think that after
all that, the controllers were thankful that I didn't complain and they
were very helpful/accommodating. I got a "keep the speed up on final as
long as practical", but I had assumed that anyway.

I used to fly in and out of Charlotte twice a day in a Lance. There's a big
push around 0730-0900 that I would avoid at all costs. Beyond that it's not all
that scary. Just another busy airport but hardly a JFK or Hartsfield. Getting
in is easier than getting out. All the GA aircraft park over on the
southeastern side of 18L/36R. Do your best to get on that side of the airport
if you have any choice in approachs.
