In a previous article, "Bill" said:
BPPP recommendations on instrument approach is not more
than appr flaps for approach phase. Reasons:

1. More speed is good; avoid slipping behind power curve
in turbulence; usually you are being nagged to keep speed up
anyway

2. Full flaps & full power on go around tend to pitch airplane
into dangerously high attitude to cope with if in clouds

3. It is very easy to go full flaps and stabilize at landing speed
when landing is assured; can easily be done in 1/2 mile.

4. Burns less gas.

My instructor had a couple more reasons, based on the fact that with an
Archer or Dakota a full flap ILS means 90-100 knots:

5. In this part of the world, you'll often pick up some ice on the
approach - no flaps means less ice on the tail plane.

6. At a big airport, ATC will want you to fly ILSes as fast as possible.
Get used to flying them at 120 knots. Plus you'll spend less time in the
ice.
