Come on, you could have a cup of coffee during an approach.
No offense but, in English please. Your sentence structure is confusing.

As for your last statement; Sure, a cup of joe can be had on approach in a prop. However, I can have a cup of joe in a jet on approach and put in cream and sugar.

The workload in flying airplanes isn't about speed. Speed is just relative. i.e. On any given day, it is harder to fly a Pitts than a jet airliner.
