Are you sure ? "WHEN" seems fairly clearly to be a conditional clearance, relying on something else having finished first, in this case the landing gear being down. i.e. you wait until the landing gear is down before moving the flaps further. How do you know the landing gear is down? = you have three/four green lights on the Gear panel and/or at least three/four green triangles on the Wheels page.
I actually agree with most of you guys ,especially with Vilas, and disagree with Check Airman.
Configuration Management chapter is quite specified , WHEN sounds quite conditional. And it seems very strange that you read it in another way. So you want them to write it in a way : "Please wait until gears are dn"? So tonight I'll make techrequest about it
