Work load, work load, work load. GA, 121, instructing, 135, 91, small plane, fast plane, prop, or jet it all comes down to what I am doing just prior to the approach. Sometimes ATC changes runways on you, sometimes you're scanning for the traffic, maybe it's a scenario where approach told you to keep a certain speed to the OM and it's now become a challenge to slow the aircraft, configure at the appropriate speeds, and work the radios let alone remember what ATC has told you. In the jet, I'd punch in CL in the scratch pad of the FMS, in GA flying I'll turn my taxi light on.
