I thought you should be fully configured at your final approach FIX

No, I don’t believe so. Where did you hear that?

It was a simmer on YouTube, he is a pilot aswell. But I probably didn’t hear what he said 100%

No, that’s too early. See @Aernout post above.

Beginning of final at 3,500ft

It really depends. Sometime you’ll have the out earlier than usual to slow down, instead of using the speedbrakes which create uncomfortable vibrations. Sometime you’ll extend the gears a bit later because of a speed restriction.

On most commercial flights, the LDG gears will be lowered between 8-5nm from the runway.

When flying a smaller aircraft (such as the DA42, Baron 58…) the rule is to be fully configured for landing at 300ft. So it’s up to you. I usually lower the gears between 1,5nm and 3nm.

I like to be fully configured at around 3.5 - 5 nm out

On early IF, forgot several times to put the gear down 😂, now I use to put it down about 2500 feet, 5 to 8 nm.
The citation has a lot of drag with gear down, have anyone noticed?
