That must be a very rare type rating. |
I know it's blasphemy to talk like this, but I think in most of our hull losses, the aircraft was stable and configured all the way down to 50' or so.
These guys boogered up the approach, but they made a nice touchdown. Hope that's kept in mind. |

No time limit for sole source. Makes sense if you think about it.
Obviously, this isn't sole source and it's not Big Brother anymore. It's your annoying little sister with an iPhone or GoPro. By the time a Gatekeeper would see something, you are probably out of the ASAP window for non-sole source. |

One word - FOQA
The inherent delay in analyzing all of the events as well as the fact that data isn't downloaded real time for many of the fleets, means that a FOQA contact isn't a reliable indication that a crew needs to file an ASAP report. In any case, that's not what FOQA is for. FOQA is about how the overall airline is doing. ASAP is about the crew and the protection afforded to them. |

It's VMC, so make that 501 feet AGL ;).
a. Stabilized Approaches. A stabilized approach is a key feature to a safe approach and landing. Operators are encouraged by the FAA and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to use the stabilized approach concept to help eliminate CFIT. The stabilized approach concept is characterized by maintaining a stable approach speed, descent rate, vertical flightpath, and configuration to the landing touchdown point. Depart the FAF configured for landing and on the proper approach speed, power setting, and flightpath before descending below the minimum stabilized approach height; e.g., 1,000 feet above the airport elevation and at a rate of descent no greater than 1,000 feet per minute (fpm), unless specifically briefed. (See AC 120-71.) |
