Exclamation Stabilised Approach

Here are the accepted atandard elements of a Stabilised Approach:

(In IMC, be stabilised by 1000' above touchdown and VMC 500' above touchdown.)

Correct flight path

Speed, Vref +20kts max, Vref min

Aircraft fully configured for landing

No greater than 1000' ft/min descent rate

All briefings & checklists completed

Power, not below as defined by AOM

The above applies to most types of approach, minor adjustment maybe needed for circling etc.

I find the above works rather well and is particularly good for low houred/inexperienced pilots to practise... and they usually get rather a good landing!
