Stabilised Approach Awareness Toolkit for ATC

Stabilised Approach Awareness Toolkit for ATC

The toolkit is aimed at providing awareness to Air Traffic Controllers on the subject of Stabilised Approach. This aid was developed jointly by the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), the Flight Safety Foundation, EUROCONTROL and Cotswold Airport.
