I was taught....

...to leave the gear down until no usable runway ahead - the argument being that it would be better to roll off the runway into the hedge at 20kts. Always found it difficult to judge exactly when that would be - especially when the excrement spools up!

Not sure I'd like the bill for a localiser though!
