locked door makes a good point

you make a good point about being stable etc and intercepting GS at the correct altitude (prefer slightly below)...indeed at 10 dme somewhere around 3000' to 3200' would be fine.

sadly, many of the newly minted 767 captains came from commuter pilot background...and turboPROP at that...

and they make things work...not pretty at all and a good chance for problems.

I came up the commuter ranks and hated the cutting of corners and ''crowbar'' approaches as we called them.

I refused them at the big line as captain. a great landing starts 10 miles out in my book.
