Oh yes... don't you just luuuuuv Kabul ... seeing the G/S disappearing southward before being tuned toward the Loc... pulling off the pwr and seeing the descent rate plummeting.... hauling it around as the loc swings rapidly in and calculating like crazy the dme/height in your head and and adding 5800ft to the numberwhile trying to get thru the pre-landing checks, keeping below the gear speed talking to ATC and switching freq's... all at the end of a long day in the dark with the snow falling... and you just KNOW that those rocks are there beneath you...

where I fly SOP is you must be stable by 1000' AGL or yo must go around.
For A319 to intercept from above you :
a) dial in altitude above current Alt.
b) select V/S -1500 fpm and pull
c) arm approach mode
d)when you get G/S* set missed approach Alt.

Drop the gear and flaps, if that doesn't work close the throttles and push the nose forward.Stabilised by 1000ft(IMC) of 500ft(VMC) then jobs a good 'un! if not go around.not rocket science is it...
