Question 4

Define the stabilization approach criteria?

Answer 4

1. IAS - Not greater than Command Speed + 10 kts and not less than Vref.
   Note: Command Speed is Vref + Wind additives up to Vref + 15 kts
2. Rate of Descent Not greater than 1200 ft./min
3. Pitch Attitude Pitch Up - Not greater than 8 degrees or Pitch Down - Not greater than 3 degrees or Below 500ft - Pitch Down – Not greater than 0 degrees
4. Bank Angle Not greater than 7 degrees
5. Localizer - Excess Deviation Warning or Not greater than 1 Dot on the PFD (expanded scale)
6. Glideslope - Excess Deviation Warning or Not greater than 1 Dot on the PFD
7. Non-ILS (Lateral) - VOR - Not greater than 2.5 degrees RNP - NPS deviation exceeds the limit or an amber deviation alert occurs
8. Non-ILS (Vertical) - VOR – Not greater/less than chart altitude RNP* - NPS deviation exceeds the limit or an amber deviation alert occurs
