I've started my IFR training and I'm at the phase of learning to shoot approaches.
I've done a few RNAVs and ILS and love the challenge of keeping the needles centered.
Now, when I'm flying them, I'm usually in clean config, approach speed, all the way to minimums. Then, I slow down, deploy some flaps and land (when not going missed).
I feel that the process is "rushed": I break out (or pull the foggles out) then have to slow, deploy flaps, fix any misalignment to the runway and land.
Should I be configured at the FAF, say flaps 20, 75 knots or is it too early? Plane I'm using is a C172 and a PA28.
