A 3 degree glideslope is 300 feet per nautical mile. If you are putting the gear down below 1500 feet AGL (5 mile final) then you are flying an unstable approach and you better have briefed this technique and have your sh## together, i.e. no adverse winds or wx to contend with. Final flaps for any carrier I have ever heard of are required to be out by 1000' above the airport VFR or by the FAF IFR.
God forbid you ever try to fly the 757 because if you try your stunts then it will eat your lunch.
Well the UK airlines flying the 757 Ive worked for, its 160kts to 4 miles..flap 15 (no special brief), then gear down flap 20 etc...where in any of that is an unstable approach?
Next thing your gonna say is use loads of rudder for an upset recovery
