What is the stabilized approach concept?
What is the stabilized approach concept?
A stabilized approach is one in which the pilot establishes and maintains a constant angle glidepath towards a predetermined point on the landing runway. It is based on the pilot’s judgment of certain visual clues, and depends on the maintenance of a constant final descent airspeed and configuration.
What is a decelerated approach?
DECELERATED APPROACH (WITHOUT CDA FUNCTION) The decelerated approach is the default strategy used by the FMS to compute the descent and approach path. It is the recommended strategy for approaches using managed vertical guidance: ILS, GLS, SLS, MLS, FLS and FINAL APP.
What is 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).
What is the difference between VREF and Vapp?
Vapp is basically just Vref + wind correction (usually 5 KT IAS, sometimes higher). Well, ideally you want to touchdown at Vref. Vapp is basically just Vref + wind correction (usually 5 KT IAS, sometimes higher).
What makes an approach unstable?
At most airlines, continuously exceeding 1,000 FPM on an instrument approach is considered unstable. Momentary deviations are allowed, however. On some aircraft, if there is a “sink rate” aural warning, it can be corrected for by the pilot once. If the warning sounds again, an immediate missed approach must be flown.
What does VMO mean in aviation?

What is the maximum acceptable descent rate for a stabilized approach?
Under the stabilized approach concept, what is the maximum acceptable descent rate during the final stages of an approach? 1,000′ per minute for precision and 1,200′ per minute for non-precision.
