What is the stabilized approach criteria?
Steady rate of descent not to exceed 1,200 FPM
On the correct lateral path (“Course”); (± one dot for ILS/LOC, 0.30 NM cross
track for RNAV, or 1/2 dot for VOR)*
On the correct vertical path (“Glidepath”); (± one dot)*
In the final landing configuration(Landing Gear and Flaps Extended)
Absent any GPWS Warnings and Cautions
Steady rate of descent not to exceed 1,000 FPM
Within -5 to +15 knots of target speed for approach
Max wind for passenger door operation?
65 knots
Max wind for cargo door operations?
40 knots/ 50 knots
