OK -- this is STILL about control of
Approach Spd on TURBOJET aircraft. There is a
tightly coupled relation between
Vref, and Engines "
SPOOLED-UP".
Reply to a question posed in the slot above:
"... you of the opinion that the company lied ... the definition of a 'stabilized approach'?...”
"Lied"? Maybe the operator never appointed the "accountable executive" to coordinate the needed changes to their manuals. Even in good time$, the operator never wanted to participate in projects motivated by their own A&L mishaps. Sure, they'd send a few staffers, but never wanted to train their managers to ALAR Standards. Nor did their local regulator provide training for the CMO guys, even after the Recommendations following a mishap at LIT [Recommendation
A-01-69 is classified "Open--
Unacceptable Response."]:
Even now the SW Region & the AA-CMO think that
"... stabilized thrust has the same meaning as engines spooled-up" [2Jan08 reply from Flt Stds' AFS-2].
There is a longer paper trail on this subject of "stabilized approach" criteria re' that operator. There were several investigations, the ALAR Task Force, repeated Bulletins to the CMO/POI, but the operators' CMO never was capable of persuading the operator toward correcting the err re' their 8400.10 deception. The Board gave up on trying to get the regulator to work with the operator to get their manuals corrected.
