i went to Florida a while back and they wanted 190/5. Id love to know what aircraft/ airlines can do that and be stable at 1000’ or do other airlines use lower stabilisation points ?
Which airport in FL wanted 190 to 5? Never heard that. The most I’ve heard is 170 to 5 miles.
In terms of approach gates, the airlines I’ve been at want us to be stable by 1000. If not stable by 1000, we can continue down to 500 as long as the speed is the only thing out of limits. If we don’t have it by 500, go missed.
