It is easy to point fingers on others – often happening in this forum.
We all know an approach must be stabilized – there might be minor different criteria for each company, but the rule is: An approach must be stabilized.
Therefore it is actually very simple: Not stabilized = Go around.
But where is the limit?
Do we all respect the limit?
I have been thereL – one parameter (flaps) was missing, at the limit point, but my reaction was a correction and then becoming stabilized BELOW the stabilized limit. That was not good. I should have prompted a Go around.
Look at you self: Have you ever been even just slightly unstabilize without going around?
The difficult task is to realize the need for go around in the actual situation, because if we just are slightly unstabilized we might know we are able to be stabilized prior landing and then we might choose to continue as I did.
BUT!!!: If we pass the limit where is the limit then?
So if we all want to be safe – stay within limits!

The limit is not: We did not crash……
