(SAL) 25.2 Definitions

For the purposes of this Appendix: Steep Approach Landing: An approach to land made using a glide path angle greater than or equal to 4.5°, as selected by the applicant. Screen Height: The reference height above the runway surface from which the landing distance is measured. The screen height is a height selected by the applicant, at 50 ft or another value from 35 to 60 ft. VREF(SAL) is the calibrated airspeed selected by the applicant used during the stabilised approach at the selected approach path angle and maintained down to the screen height defined above. VREF(SAL) may not be less than 1.23 VSR, VMCL, or a speed that provides the manoeuvring capability specified in CS 25.143(h), whichever is greater and may be different from the VREF used for standard approaches. VREF(SAL)-1 is the calibrated airspeed selected by the applicant used during the stabilised one-engine-inoperative approach at the selected approach path angle and maintained down to the screen height defined above. VREF(SAL)-1 may not be less than VREF(SAL).
