I ve always been guilty of no pause.
Just something I read in the FCOM.

None of the answers is fully correct.Imagine that you don't wait and you get one red landing gear light.What's your next action? Check-list to try to solve the gear problem.Where is your flaps:15. Which one offers more drag and consequently, more fuel consumption: Flaps 5 or flaps 15? Think about it and you'll see that Boeing is not stupid.There's a board of very experienced pilots preparing the procedures with caution and logic.Take care and follow what's written properly.
