STABILIZED APPROACHES, GOOD PRACTICE GUITE 4/12

VISUAL APPROACHES

PILOTS

Prepare and anticipate your visual approach by doing more than simply mentioning it during the approach briefing but stablish check points and gates

Use the visual approach pattern in your airplane manual or company document, if it exists.

CONTROLLERS

For visual approach clearances:

• Leave time for the crew (Briefing, preparing the aircraft).
• Mentioning any constraints that you anticipate using as soon as possible, e.g. altitude or routing.
• Talk to the pilots about your constraints in the joint Pilot-controller meetings.
