Flew out to about a four mile base to final turn to give me some working room to get settled in on final. Started the base turn at 300 knots, moved the nozzle to 40 degrees and there was no real radical pitch or anything…just some gradual lift and then some speed decay. Don’t know what the gear extension speed is…so I wagged it and dropped it in the base turn at 250 knots. That stuff is super draggy (and I guess the speed brake somewhat extends as you drop the gear?) (and I have flaps in CRUISE…that might be wrong) and speed decayed over the span of about five seconds from 250 to 170…so you have to be ready to come back in with substantial power after the gear goes out…
