Many Pilots prefer Instrument Approaches because an IFR approach keeps you in the protected areas of the MSA, it also ensures a complete ATC service in terms of advisories and separations from Visual traffic. We also use this approach in order to keep current on our License be it CPL or ATP. An ILS approach ensures proper separation form obstacles and by so doing we are guaranteed to be going to the right airport and landing on the right runway. Visual approaches are not necessarily easy. Due to complacency visual approaches can lead to the worst disasters in aviation. Look at Asiana out at KSFO, a perfectly functioning B777 was flown into the ground on a pristine, clear and beautiful sunny day.
You are welcome. I for one always use the ILS on any runway even in a country with one airport. Complacency leads to accidents, that is why no matter what, we must maintain flight discipline and never deviate from safety standards.
Nice smooth stabilized approach, Vref+0, AT/AP off, good job.
Beautiful!
Andreas, why did you decide to make an ILS approach with very good visual conditions ?
Happy landings !
Ciao from Italy.

Thanks Phillip! Interesting and professional answer.

What is that clicking noise? It's driving me nuts! Awesome video otherwise!
Clicking is the pitch trim
Manual trimming.
