The nanny state may be alive and well in northern euorpe but they tend to turn a blind eye when they go on holiday!.
If these guys above think that on some of the Greek islands they will get a stable approach by 1000 ft then it is time to have a rethink !!!.
The company that I fly for requires a stable approach at 500ft viaual and 1000 ft for an inst app and this is with a 78,000 kg jet.
Most student PPL's should have the aircraft stable by 500ft but stable can mean stable in the turn and configered at Vref if you are flying oval CCT's.
BOB...... I like your style !!!!!!!.
