It is an interesting journey this G+B failure. Starting with configuring all the way to Landing Conf then gear down, then asking to increase speed to 200kts if less and lowering gear before taking any flaps (instructor guide) and finally elimination of any guide lines in FCTM for G+B. Also not mentioning about slats in the SUMMARY. Something about the summaries. They are collection of all the required procedures in one place arranged in flight phases to avoid shuffling QRH pages from procedure to procedure. Summaries do not tell you anything extra but rather abbreviate procedures like slat/flap jam and gravity extension making one wonder why can't these elaborate procedures be short in the first place. They are not mandatory (that's what it said before) but saves time. STATUS review is part of approach briefing so if it mentioned something it is in order to consider that. Otherwise with slats extended you will be closer to S speed and you will have to increase speed to get 200kts. Since it is not required by STATUS why bother?
