Personally, I use the following high-drag configurations to re-establish the profile:
- Flaps 5, 220kts, speedbrake
- Flaps 10, 180kts, speedbrake
Failing that, it's time for the gear - or perhaps a short think whether an orbit/delaying vectors might not be a
much better idea. Nothing in FCTM preventing the use of speedbrakes and flaps above the minimum manuevering speed for each configuration.
