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 10,005 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 723 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 VTUU Ubon Ratchathani Airport, taking approximately 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 96 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 91 °F, a wind speed of 13 kt at 240 °, resulting in a 2 kt crosswind and a 13 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,070 ft above sea level to 30,230 ft, an increase of 29,160 ft in just 23 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The climb took place over Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 22 miles east of Champasak, Laos, and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 190 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 5 miles southwest of Song Cau, Vietnam, where the aircraft descended from 29,805 ft to 8,527 ft, a decrease of 21,278 ft in just 12 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northeast of Nha Trang, Vietnam, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 14 miles east of VVCR Cam Ranh International Airport, where the aircraft descended from 8,420 ft to 2,732 ft, a decrease of 5,688 ft in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, which started 7 miles southeast of VVNT Nha Trang Air Base, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20R at VVCR Cam Ranh International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 199.0 ° at 2 nautical miles and 1,766 ft above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 10,005 ft, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 78 kt, while the touchdown distance was good at 722 ft. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 72 kt, and the touchdown rate was fair at -206 fpm.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 26 ft from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 26 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 99 °F, a wind speed of 14 kt at 190 °, resulting in a 2 kt crosswind and a 14 kt headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,310 ft, which was 13 % of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 387 nautical miles, taking a total of 113 minutes, and the aircraft used 764 lbs of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at VVCR Cam Ranh International Airport / Cam Ranh Air Base, with a final approach from the north. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,766 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The pilot maintained a heading of 199.0°, which is slightly off from the runway's centerline.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 78 knots, registering at 78 kt. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 722 feet, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown speed of 72 kt was a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is considered fair, but could be improved upon.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 26 feet from the centerline, which may have resulted in a slightly uneven rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centerline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's stability and control during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 99°F, and a moderate headwind of 14 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, which was not a significant factor in the landing. The total landing distance was 1,310 feet, which is only 13% of the runway's length of 10,005 feet. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a relatively short distance, but the misaligned touchdown and rollout may have contributed to a slightly longer landing distance than desired.
