Q

Stabilized App criteria

A

On flight path
- Correct airport is in FMC
- Only small changes in heading/pitch to maintain correct flight path
- sink rate no greater than 1000fpm unless briefed
- ILS or IAN within 1-dot vertical and lateral deviation
- NON ILS: On VNAV glide path (VTK +/- 75 ft)
- 1/2 lateral RNP
- within 1 dot LOC/VOR
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)
- Landing checklist complete

On Speed
-On target speed, with normal bracketing and momentary deviations
- Thrust is stabilized to maintain target speed

Landing
- If airspeed is below Vref over threshold - GO AROUND
- if airspeed is excessive when approaching flare - GO AROUND
- landing gear straddling the runway centerline. If all main landing gear are on one side of the centerline - GO AROUND
