. Acknowledge the PNF callout, for proper crew coordination purposes

. Take immediate corrective action to control the exceeded parameter back into the defined stabilized conditions

. Assess whether stabilized conditions will be recovered early enough prior to landing, otherwise initiate a go-around.

The following behaviors often are involved in the continuation of an unstabilized approach:

. Confidence in a quick recovery (i.e., postponing the go-around decision when parameters are converging toward target values);

. Overconfidence because of a long and dry runway and/or a low gross-weight, although airspeed and/or vertical speed are excessive;

. Inadequate readiness or lack of commitment to conduct a go-around; A change of mindset should take place from:

. “We will land unless …”; to,

. “Let’s be prepared for a go-around and we will land if the approach is stabilized and if we have sufficient visual references to make a safe approach and landing”.

. Go-around envisaged but not initiated because the approach was considered being compatible with a safe landing; and,

. Absence of decision due to fatigue or workload (i.e., failure to remember  the applicable excessive deviation criteria).

XI Summary of Key Points Three essential parameters need to be stabilized for a safe approach:

. Aircraft track;

. Flight path angle; and,

. Airspeed.

Depending on the type of approach and aircraft equipment, the most appropriate level of automation and visual cues should be used to achieve and monitor the stabilization of the aircraft. When breaking-out of the cloud overcast and transitioning to visual references,  the pilot’s perception of the runway and outside environment should be kept constant by maintaining:
