๐ซA modern procedure that is widely used is the stabilised approach.
๐ซIn this case, the aeroplane descends from the lowest holding altitude (LHA) in the arrival stack and adopts a 300ft/nm rate of descent that is maintained all the way to the runway threshold.
๐ซThis minimises power adjustments and negates the need for the straight and level segment to intercept the glide path from below.
๐ซIt also reduces fuel burn and although this is not a major saving per flight, when multiplied by the annual total of approached made in an operation, amounts to a significant economy.
