Visual: on VNAV glide path or Visual approach path indicator and on center line with wings level no later than 300’ AGL
PAPI indication of 4 white or 4 red are considered unstable
Configured
- Configured as planned (landing gear, flaps, speedbrakes)

- Between 10,000 and 25,000 ft: 10 miles
- At or above 25,000 ft: 20 miles
- TS coverage of 6/10 or great, the entire are should be circumnavigated.
Rule of thumb in vicinity of individual cell:
- Downwind side of TS- at least one mile for every knot of wind at FL
- Clear air, at least 10 miles
- Over the top- avoid within 5,000 ft above the radar return
