Stabilised approach
Been posted before but didn't get any answers. Her goes:
What criteria are part of your Company's stabilised approach concept (if any)? Ours are:
At DA/MDA +500':
- Maximum half-scale deflection on LLZ/GP
- 1.4Vs +20kt/-0kt
- Correct configuration
- Maximum 1000ft/min rate of descend
- All briefings and checklists complete
- Wings level at 300ft AAL
Just curious to find out about other philosophies and procedures!
Thanks!

"In the Slot IFR" (500' AGL)
1.Landing Config
2.Within 1 dot LOC&GLIDE
3.Stable rate of descend
4.Speed Vref/Vref+20
5.Thrust above flight idle
"In the Slot VFR" (500' AGL)
1.Landing Config
2.Within 10 deg of RW C/L
3.Hdg within 20 deg of R/W heding
4.On visual glide (e. g. PAPI)
5.Stable rate of descend
6.Speed Vref/Vref+20
7.Thrust above flight idle

From: Fukui : Japan
A British Airline :
Target Stabilisation Altitude : 1000'AAL
Minimum Stable Approach Point : 500' Radio Alt.
Stable Approach Criteria :
1. Gear Down
2. Landing Flap
3. Speed +15/-5 kt
4. V/S < 1200fpm
5. Bank < 10deg (circling app. by 300'aal)
6. On Profile (1 dot Loc/GS)
7. A stable thrust setting
If it is obvious that any component of the SAC will not be met by the SAP, or the approach becomes destabilised below SAP, or if in any doubt of safely continuing, GO AROUND !!
In my Airline all these criteria, and hundreds of others are monitored electronically, if you don't comply, expect a phone call!!
