Are you saying that your airline's policy to have the gear down, full flaps and have already slowed down to your final approach speed prior to reaching the FAF for the non-prec. (which would be same as my airline) but also prior to intercepting the glide slope for prec. approaches? If so, are you telling me that you're flying ~130 knots or so from the moment you intercept the GS until you touch down each time you shoot an ILS?
