20. Approach reference procedures
The approach reference flight path shall be calculated as follows—(a)the aeroplane shall be stabilized and following a 3° glide path;(b)a steady approach speed of VREF + 19 km/h (VREF + 10 kt), with thrust or power stabilized, shall be maintained over the measurement point;(c)the constant approach configuration as used in the airworthiness certification tests, but with the landing gear down, shall be maintained throughout the approach reference procedure;(d)the mass of the aeroplane at the touchdown shall be the maximum landing mass permitted in the approach configuration defined under regulation 20 (c) at which noise certification is requested; and(e)the most critical (that which produces the highest noise level) configuration with normal deployment of aerodynamic control surfaces including lift and drag producing devices, at the mass at which certification is requested shall be used. This configuration includes all those items listed in 5.2.5 of the Fifth Scedule that will contribute to the noisiest continuous state at the maximum landing mass in normal operation.
