Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 13,225 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,025 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at ORSU Sulaymaniyah International Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 31, with a takeoff distance of 3,025 feet, which was 26% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 94 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile north west of ORSU Sulaymaniyah International Airport, Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. The climb took 23 minutes, covering 89 nautical miles, and reached an altitude of 30,296 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,754 feet from the initial altitude of 3,542 feet. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 89°F and winds of 6 knots at 140°.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 4 miles east of OICS Sanandaj Airport, Sanandaj, Kurdistan Province, Iran. This phase of the flight lasted 23 minutes and covered 136 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 31 miles south of OI14 Khar Rud, Khar Rud, Qazvin Province, Iran. The descent took 17 minutes, covering 69 nautical miles, and reduced the altitude from 30,302 feet to 5,801 feet.
The final approach to runway 11R at OIII Mehrabad International Airport was made from the west, heading 105.0°, at 3 nautical miles and 1,907 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 13,225 feet, and the threshold height was significantly above the target. The threshold speed was also too high at 90 knots. The touchdown point was 501 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 74 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -277 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 81°F and winds of 5 knots at 233°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,912 feet, which was 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 301 nautical miles, and the flight took 75 minutes. The aircraft used 486 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 11R at OIII Mehrabad International Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.8%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 105.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,907 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 501 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a notable deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 233°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
One area for improvement noted in the report was the threshold height, which was significantly above the target. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 90 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to adjust their approach to achieve a more optimal speed. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, however, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 2,912 feet was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing performance was satisfactory, with some areas for improvement noted in the report.
