Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,439 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 570 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft lifting off after covering 44% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 693 meters, and the liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Sevierville, Tennessee, where the aircraft ascended from 1,866 feet above sea level to 10,650 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,784 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 3 miles northeast of Dumplin Field in Dandridge, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered 16 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile southeast of White Pine Airport, where the aircraft descended from 10,705 feet above sea level to 2,868 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,837 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile southeast of Srigley Field Airstrip in Tusculum, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered 21 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at Tri-Cities Regional Airport took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 42.0° and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 05 at Tri-Cities Regional Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 135 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 79 knots, and the touchdown rate was -159 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 320°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,385 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 75 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes, with the aircraft using 107 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at KTRI Tri-Cities Regional TN/VA Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 135 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway length of 2,439 meters. The touchdown speed of 79 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The threshold height at 60 feet agl was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 95 knots. However, this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft, achieving a good touchdown speed and rate.
The total landing distance of 1,385 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable exit from the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control of the aircraft.
