Study index
A complete operational framework connecting descent planning, aircraft energy, configuration, automation, crew monitoring and the decision to land or go around.
01 — STUDY INTRODUCTION
Stabilization is a complete operational condition
An aircraft is not stabilized merely because it is established on final, following guidance or in visual contact with the runway. Path, speed, energy, configuration, thrust and crew readiness must converge into a sustainable landing condition.
The applicable gate, tolerances and callouts always come from the operator’s approved procedures.
02 — STUDY INTRODUCTION
Energy and distance determine what remains possible
Altitude and speed are energy; track distance provides the opportunity to remove them. A shortcut, late runway change or stronger tailwind can compress the approach without removing aircraft energy.
When major corrections remain at the gate, the aircraft has not reached the equilibrium required for landing.
03 — STUDY INTRODUCTION
The go-around protects the decision
The protected 30-chapter edition develops arrival planning, speed, vertical and lateral path, automation, FMA, weather, visual illusions, CDFA, circling, CRM, continuation bias, non-normal operations, touchdown assurance and runway-excursion prevention.
A go-around is not evidence that the approach failed. It is the planned maneuver used when the required landing conditions are absent or lost.
