I'd hate to see what happen if someone afraid of being sacked--becomes really destabilized in speed due to attempting to have untenable 'criteria' , requires a go around---- but is afraid to execute it and crashes
Your aim with a large aircraft is to ALWAYS be trimmed and stabilized---during all phases of flight--furthermore---the most important aspecdts of being 'stable' seems lost in certain SOPS
you should be able to:
Arrive over the threshold at Vref [in most case] at the correct height---in such a manner as to assure a touchdown in the TDZ---
and maintain a thrust setting that allows full thrust to be available before contacting the ground--- i.e a missed approach or landing climb---i.e spooled up in time to avoid a crash!!!
---AND---
if it is gusty or you're on a NPA then you can't always ride on rails to the TDZ
----------------AND IF-------------
following SOPS and arriving consistently too fast or too high to maintain some artificial concept of 'stable' as that's NOT stable--then the SOPS are
wrong and the problem needs addressing and if just addressing it puts your job in jeopardy then find a new company---
CP: Why did you choose to continue so high and fast while the RWY was contaminated?
You: because we were stable according to the SOPS you wrote mister CP sir---I swear
YOU: Sacked!!!
I'm a crazy maverick though
