Cloudbase 700', Approach should therefore have been stabilised by 1000'
From JAR/EU-OPS
The approach should be considered to be fully stabilised when the aeroplane is:
a) tracking on the required approach path and profile; and Appears so
b) in the required configuration and attitude; and Maybe
c) flying with the required rate of descent and speed; and Getting more doubtful
d) flying with the appropriate power and trim. No
Should have thrown it away and never got to stickshake at 450' and the consequences thereafter.
