Describe the NJS Stabilised Approach criteria:
Airspeed: -5 / +10 Vapp and or correcting.
ILS Glideslope: Npt greater then half scale deflection.
PAPI: Not greater then 3 white or 3 red until established on 3 degree profile to runway aim point.
Tracking: Half scale deflection or 5 degrees (NDB)
Additional:
1. Aircraft is in the landing configuration.
2. Thrust setting is appropriate for the approach configuration and prevailing conditions.
3. Before Landing checklist is complete.
4. Sink-rate is not greater than 1,000 fpm. If the approach requires a greater sink-rate, a special briefing should be accomplished.
5. Only small attitude changes are required to maintain the desired flight-path.
6. Only small heading changes to maintain the aircraft aligned along the extended runway centreline.
76
When must a missed approach be conducted:
1. The aircraft is not Stable at or becomes unstable below 1,000 feet AGL.
2 During a normal-configuration approach, the sustained rate of descent exceeds 1000 ft/min below 1,000 feet AGL.
3. During an abnormal-configuration approach, the rate of descent exceeds the planned rate of descent plus 300 ft/min.
4. An ILS “Glideslope” warning occurs at any time below 1000 feet AGL unless established on a 3 deg slope to the runway aiming point or when landing on a non ILS equipped RWY where the warning is obviously spurious.
5. During a normal approach, the GPWS “Sink Rate” warning occurs at any time below 1,000 feet AGL; or during a no slat/no flap approach the warning continues below 100 feet.
6. A ‘bounced’ or abnormal landing occurs after which, continuation of the landing would be unsafe.

amended to ensure compliance with the published approach.
