Some interesting reactions !

How can we incentivise pilots not to continue unstable approaches or long floats?

"Well pilots are paid to do their jobs properly". Yes, of course, but we have recently had two fatal crashes where unstable approaches, and in one case, a very long float ended in disaster. And this is in today's modern piloting, with CRM and SEPs etc. I am merely thinking aloud about possible ways chief pilots might push the balance towards a safer mindset.

Being both properly stable at 1000' and touching within the touchdown zone, would apparently be easy to program into FDM, and some way of incentivising these twin goals might start to reinforce the message to all?
