Approach speeds for ILS

It's certainly a matter of perception and everyone thinks about
it differently. My feeling is it's a combination of both. I start
with slight pitch changes and adjust the throttle accordingly.
If you're timing your ILS approaches you'd want to maintain
a constant speed.

Hmm, I was taught to use the throttle to stay on glideslope, not the
elevator.
I find using the throttle results in more controllability.

I s'pose. But you really shouldn't be playing with the throttle
constantly either. Somewhere along the line I picked up adding "DFWTP"
to my ILS checklist. DFWTP at GS intercept, GUMPS at DH. It stands for
"Don't F*** With The Power".
