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 7,868 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,248 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 LSMA Alpnach Air Base, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 1,977 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 42°F temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was zero. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Kerns in Kanton Obwalden, Switzerland, and rising from an altitude of 2,535 feet above sea level to 14,395 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,860 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Obfelden in Kanton Zurich, Switzerland, and lasting 22 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north of Seltz in Grand Est, France, and descending from 14,198 feet above sea level to 4,142 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,056 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southeast of Erlenbach in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and lasting 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Horbach in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and descending from 3,819 feet above sea level to 3,190 feet above sea level, a decrease of 629 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Knopp-Labach in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at EDRZ Zweibrücken Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 206.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,649 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 21, which has a length of 7,868 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 91 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,244 feet, and the touchdown speed was 75 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -163 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 39°F temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 276 degrees, with a crosswind component of 15 knots and a headwind component of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 2,087 feet, which is 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 171 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 56 minutes. The aircraft used 67 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at EDRZ Zweibrücken Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,649 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach demonstrates the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
Upon landing on runway 21, the aircraft performed exceptionally well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 91 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,244 feet was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 75 knots was well within the recommended limits, and the touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from 276°. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft, ensuring a stable and controlled landing.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the runway touchdown alignment, which was described as "very good." This indicates that the aircraft touched down precisely on the centerline of the runway, minimizing the risk of deviation and ensuring a safe landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, this landing is a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and the Vision Jet's capabilities. The aircraft's performance in challenging weather conditions and its ability to maintain precise control throughout the landing phase make this a truly impressive achievement.
