Hi despegue,

What aircraft are you operating?

If you are using dive and drive to MDA then you must have commenced the level off before so that you didn't sink below MDA. (at MDA + 50 say?)

We can't satisfy the stable approach criteria with the level segment below 500 feet AGL so we must use a continuous descent profile.
