EMIRATES – STABLE APPROACH CRITERIA
Stable Approach Criteria
An approach is considered to be stable when all of the following conditions are met:
All briefings and checklists have been actioned.
The aircraft is in the planned landing configuration (Note 1).
The aircraft is on the correct flight path (Note 2).
The aircraft speed is not more than final approach speed +10 KIAS and not less than
VREF (Note 3).
Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration.
Note 1: Planned landing configuration is: landing gear down and locked, landing flap set and speedbrake armed.
Note 2: An aircraft is considered to be on the correct flight path if it is within the approach path laid down in the fleet specific FCOM.
Note 3: As adjusted by minimum ground speed techniques where applicable and excluding momentary excursions (a momentary excursion is defined as a deviation lasting only a few seconds and where every indication is that it will return within the stabilised criteria).
