What defines a stabilized approach and the typical altitude by which it must be achieved?

• A. An approach with the aircraft on the correct path, configured, at the target speed, with minimal sink rate; typically stabilized by 1000 ft AGL (non-precision) or 500 ft AGL (precision) depending on SOP.
• B. An approach where the aircraft is above the glideslope by 1000 ft.
• C. An approach requiring no configuration changes after intercept.
• D. An approach with maximum bank angle at all times.

Answer: (A)
