A320 Flaps 3 Extension After Gear Locked Down?

Hello everybody!

How do you interpret the standard operating procedures 3.03.18 page7 which says "WHEN LANDING GEAR IS DOWN ORDER FLAPS 3" ?

I personally don't think there is any restriction on activating both the gear and flaps together, even if they are both on the GREEN system...

I think the book reports a general guideline for those... who need it

Jokes apart, do we really have to wait for the gear to be locked down, as somebody says, before calling for Flaps 3?

Probably nobody can know the official answer, but what is your opinion?

Thanks
