  possible traffic. The airplane should then be slowed and configured for an approach and landing. A stabilized descent should be established (approximately 500 fpm) and trim adjusted. A turn should be initiated at this point, if desired. The pilot should…

  suitable final approach, the pilot simultaneously adjusts the power and the pitch attitude to establish and maintain the proper descent angle and airspeed. During a stabilized approach, small changes in the airplane’s pitch attitude and power setting are needed…

  return or to continue on the original flightpath. It is primarily an airplane design characteristic. Stabilized approach. A landing approach in which the pilot establishes and maintains a constant angle glidepath towards a predetermined point on the landing runway ... based on the pilot’s judgment of certain visual cues, and depends on the maintenance of a constant final descent airspeed and configuration.

  descent during the round out (flare), the actual touchdown occurs farther down the runway. Considering float during round out, the pilot is also able to predict the point of touchdown with some accuracy. When the airplane is established on final ... approach, the shape of the runway image also presents clues as to what should be done to maintain a stabilized approach to a safe landing. Obviously, a runway is normally shaped in the form of an elongated rectangle. When viewed…

  accurately judges the height, distance from the approach end of the runway, and rate of descent to allow a stabilized approach, round out, and touchdown at the desired spot. The distance depends on the altitude of the base ... there is a strong wind on final approach or the flaps are used to produce a steep angle of descent, the base leg should be positioned closer to the approach end of the runway than would be required with normal…
