A company in Middle East apply to their SOP that pilot have to be stabilized by 1000 ft AGL in VMC & IMC
In another lifetime we used flare height (known then as "round-out") as the mandatory stabilisation height in Tiger Moths. Worked a treat and saved money caused by unnecessary go-arounds....
I can understand the rather excessive minimum stabilisation height in the Middle East due to heat shimmy and updraughts from sand-dunes
