Sim; GS 1/2 scale, gear down and final flap. So it has been on all the different types I've flown.

Then we enter the real world and we fly as clean as possible for as long as possible before we dump the gear and select final flap. We all do it, line pilots, training pilots, chief pilots, etc, because it's the best way to fly. Economy, noise, time, flap wear, ATC, etc.

6 months later we reenter the sim, GS 1/2 scale, gear down and final flap. By the book and well done!

We don't train the way we fly, and we don't fly the way we train. We all know it, and accept it. Weird!
