What speed on final approach? FAA parameters are no lower than 500’ AGL for stabilized criteria What specific runway lighting do we expect to see? What are the criteria for a Missed Approach Command? Is the Missed Approach altitude at or above the MDA? The rule of thumb is VSI = ½ groundspeed times 10.
