Just have to pick up on one small point here. This is absolutely not the correct way to configure an airliner for any landing, let alone a CAT III approach. CAT III can be a zero visibility landing, depending on operator/equipment, so logically leaving final flap selection until 'assured of landing' is impossible. All aircraft/operators have stabilised approach criteria, usually meaning landing config, speed & checklists complete by a certain point. In IMC, this is commonly 1,000ft agl. If you are not fully configured, or haven't completed the landing checklist by this point, a missed approach is mandatory. Obviously this is all for civilian LVO (low visibility operations), and as mentioned above, completely different to US Navy CASE III recovery procedures.
