If it helps any (since I fly the 727 quite a bit) I use speed brake alone to slow down to 245 at 10000' (and below on further descent). About 15-10
nm from the airport I lower the gear as well (sometimes earlier, I don't like to do it that early but I feel it's the best way to slow down the 727).
Flaps I add only when I'm pretty sure that the speed brake won't be used anymore, normally at the start of the final approach.
The 727 is quite different to slow down than a 737, I think.
Thanks nem... it will help... and yes you might be right in it being a bit different as well... not much tho... by any chance its the DreamFleet 727... as I love it
