Unstabilized approach

Unstabilized approach

An unstabilized approach is an approach during which an aircraft does not maintain at leastone of the following variables stable: speed, descent rate, vertical/lateral flight path and inlanding configuration. Unstabilized approaches account for most approach and landing accidents.For this reason, an approach should be stabilized by 1000 feet above runway altitude, otherwisea go-around should be considered by the pilot.
