Narrative:
I was turning final on runway 14 at ict when I noticed a yellow speck below the airplane on the left hand side. As the object came closer I realized it was a drone and it was approximately 100-200ft below the aircraft. I was able to see that on all four sides of it; it had propeller blades letting me know that it was a drone. I didn't have to make any maneuvers to avoid the drone and since I was fully configured and still on a stable approach I made the decision to continue and let ATC know what I encountered.
