This came up during a lesson. It's retractable gear specific but not really aircraft specific.
For those of you who do use approach flaps to fly an instrument approach , what is your gear/flap sequence and does it affect your FAS (final approach segment) airspeed?
These are just examples to illustrate what I'm asking:

These are just examples to illustrate what I'm asking:
- At target FAS airspeed clean in A. Gear first then flaps upon intercepting the glideslope. No airspeed change.
- Gear down at target FAS airspeed in A . Flaps down upon intercepting the glideslope. No airspeed change.
- Higher than target FAS. Gear upon intercepting the glideslope with no airspeed change. Flaps added after stabilizing to reduce to target airspeed.
