Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,003 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 503 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 RJFM Miyazaki Airport, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll occurred on runway 27, with the aircraft taking off after covering 23% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 583 meters, and the liftoff speed was 104 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of RJFM Miyazaki Airport and ascending from 1,076 feet above sea level to 1,811 feet, an increase of 735 feet in less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute climb, which began 4 miles southeast of RJFM Miyazaki Airport and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,982 feet to 29,804 feet, an increase of 27,822 feet in 20 minutes and covering 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 25 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles. This phase began 25 miles northeast of Nishinoomote, Japan. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 24 miles east of RJX8 Suwanosejima Airport and descending from 30,012 feet to 2,562 feet, a decrease of 27,450 feet in 25 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 14 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles. This phase began 18 miles north of RJKN Tokunoshima Airport. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 10 miles south of RJKN Tokunoshima Airport and descending from 2,156 feet to 1,535 feet, a decrease of 620 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at RJKN Tokunoshima Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 6.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,516 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 2,003 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 97 knots.
The touchdown point was 57 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 79 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 3°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,139 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 97 minutes. The aircraft used 353 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at RJKN Tokunoshima Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 6.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,516 feet above ground level. The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,003 meters.
However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 97 knots, which is above the recommended threshold speed. Additionally, the touchdown point was 57 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 79 knots was also faster than recommended, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
Despite these issues, the aircraft performed well in terms of touchdown rate, with a rate of -96 feet per minute, which is considered excellent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a headwind of 12 knots. The wind direction was from the east, which was not a significant factor in the landing, as the aircraft was approaching from the south. Overall, the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrated good performance during the landing, but there is room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and touchdown point accuracy.
