25 miles, 250 kts and 10000 feet is a good place to aim for
Speed brake should be sufficient in this scenario if not then use the gear.
I wouldn’t take the gear (all gets a bit noisy), unless it didn’t seem to becoming into plan.
Rules of thumb I use; the glide slope on the standby alt (gives a good indication of where you are in relation to the glide and press the meters button, the first 2 figures are what you generally need in miles, the FMC DME or fix page DME are what you have got left (seems to include the normal spped reductions in that too).
And ready to be shot down in flames, but isn’t the use of flaps to slow
down slightly frowned, on as it puts extra stress on the linkages over time, i.e. try all other means first.
Qwertyuiop, in the NG there is a FPV button which displays a symbol on the display, so it is an accepted term in 737 circles, NG at least.
