Narrative:
Captain is flying and descends at 280 kts. 1500 fpm with zero VNAV help programmed in. As a result; he is unaware of how high he is with respect to the airport. 240 kts.; high; and clean at 5 mile right base. Calls for gear at 225 kts. To slow and then flaps 8/20/30/45 while on base; all within 8mi to 5 mi base. At 0.5 miles from final course and 90 degrees from 5 mile FAF; starts 45 degree turn because he's overshooting final and full deflection high on the glide slope. He corrects course but remains high. Chases the glideslope down the entire way at almost idle. Was fully configured at 1;000 ft and glideslope was within full deflection (barely). I just revisited the stabilized approach criteria and should have called a go-around. Captain inability to plan vertical descent and speed adjustments. Captain's inability to judge a base to final turn distance; speed and altitude. VNAV; visual approach; and SOP guideline review is necessary. This captain has not performed a visual approach to sopm guidelines in three trips.

Title: CRJ-200 First Officer reported that the Captain performed multiple unstabilized approaches to ICT airport.
Narrative: Captain is flying and descends at 280 kts. 1500 fpm with zero VNAV help programmed in. As a result; he is unaware of how high he is with respect to the airport. 240 kts.; high; and clean at 5 mile right base. Calls for gear at 225 kts. to slow and then Flaps 8/20/30/45 while on base; all within 8mi to 5 mi base.

Captain's inability to judge a base to final turn distance; speed and altitude. VNAV; visual approach; and SOP guideline review is necessary. This Captain has not performed a visual approach to SOPM guidelines in three trips.
