Flight Operations Briefing Notes Approach Techniques Flying Stabilized Approaches
I
Introduction
Rushed and unstabilized approaches are the largest contributory factor in CFIT and other approach-and-landing accidents. Rushed approaches result in insufficient time for the flight crew to correctly: • • • Plan; Prepare; and, Execute a safe approach.
This Flight Operations Briefing Note provides an overview and discussion of: • • Criteria defining a stabilized approach; and, Factors involved in rushed and unstabilized approaches.
Note: Flying stabilized approaches complying with the stabilization criteria and approach gates defined hereafter, does not preclude flying a Delayed Flaps Approach (also called a Decelerated Approach) as dictated by ATC requirements.
II
Statistical Data
(Source: Flight Safety Foundation Flight Safety Digest Volume 17 & 18 – November 1998 / February 1999).
Continuing an unstabilized approach is a causal factor in 40 % of all approach-andlanding accidents.
