Stable Approach

Majority of Boeing 777 Pilots Land Despite Unstable Approaches, Data Shows

Boeing 777 pilots, like their counterparts on the vast majority of aircraft at most airlines, have set-in-stone parameters they should work within prior to carrying out landings. These ensure what is known as a stable approach and give pilots a clear set of rules to stick to when committing to a landing. If they are not met, the decision should be easy: go around and try again.
