Yes I am an airline pilot, for a little while actually
What about You?
The fact that some procedures require banks below 500 ft has nothing to do with my remark as it is specific to the procedure.
Stabilization criteria must include a lateral element to be applicable for straight-in approaches, circlings and Rnp-ar. Maybe your Operator does not specify a bank angle value, but most likely it does specify where You must be laterally positioned to be considered stable for different types of approaches. My operator (Airbus fleet) does not allow bank angles greater than 15 deg below 500 ft (400ft for circlings). Cat C airports with special procedures obviously have specific approved differences to the above. If Your operator allows you to close a visual approach at 100 ft with 30 degrees of bank then you must have good fun.
