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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,721 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 736 ft touchdown sits inside 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 OYHD Hodeidah International Airport, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 21, with a takeoff distance of 1,083 feet, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 93 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 87°F temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 199 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb began overhead OYHD Hodeidah International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,036 feet above sea level to 21,930 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,894 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 17 miles east of Bajil, Yemen, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 23 miles southeast of Al Mahwit, Yemen, where the aircraft descended from 21,936 feet above sea level to 9,107 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,829 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at OYSN Sana'a International Airport was made from the south, heading 358.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,852 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 730 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 65 knots, and the touchdown rate was -156 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 65°F temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 69 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both zero. The total landing distance was 3,843 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 88 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 37 minutes. The aircraft used 260 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at Sana'a International Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 358.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,852 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft onto the runway, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 65 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 730 feet and a touchdown speed of 65 knots, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also good, at -156 feet per minute (fpm). However, there were some minor issues with the landing, as the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 69°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots, making the landing even smoother. The total landing distance was 3,843 feet, which was 36% of the runway length of 10,721 feet. Overall, the pilot's performance was impressive, and the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrated its capabilities in a challenging landing scenario.
