Gear needs to be down and locked early enough to get the flaps to their final setting prior to 500'. In the particular flight, the tail number is easy to see, and it won't take someone 5 minutes to pull up the line of flight and figure out who the crew was. This moves it from a FOQA event (where it would have been flagged, but protected) to non-sole source. There need to be a couple of ASAPs filed here.
