The 1st time you try this, use the speed brake with the gear to slow and configure. This should give you confidence.
I would love to be able to fly like this, however 99.9% of captains would scream at me and any who allowed me to would end up in an office meeting explaining why they let me. Absolutely against all company SOP
(speedbrake with the gear is expressly forbidden too, an OFDM trigger).
