STABILIZED APPROACHES, GOOD PRACTICE GUITE 7/12

CLEARENCES INCOMPATIBLE WITH AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE

PILOTS

when it is part of a sequence of speed adjustments with a high level radio traffic, we can be reluctant
to question or negotiate with a request to mantain speed.

Refuse controllers request when they appear to be incompatible with stabilising the approach.

Advise the controller when you redude speed to stabilise the approach

if your final approach speed is going to be different from normal, advise the controller during initial approach.

CONTROLLERS

A request to maintain a speed that is to high too near the threshold can prevent the crew from stabilising the approach.

Avoid requests for speed to be maintained at over 220kts on the extended centerline and over 180kts closer than 7nm from the threshold.
