Keep the speed up on final
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,573 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,611 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 03 at MMCS Abraham González International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,840 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 121°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of MMCS Abraham González International Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 4,802 feet above sea level to 29,295 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,493 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 10 miles north of MMMK El Preson Airport Miguel Ahumada. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 10 miles southeast of MMKC Harpe Airport Ejido Benito Juarez and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 29,390 feet above sea level to 5,713 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,677 feet. The descent covered a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18L at MMCU General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport was made from the north, heading 192.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18L, which had a length of 8,573 feet, was successful, with a threshold height that was good and a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 78 knots.
The touchdown point was 174 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -20 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 167°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,819 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 183 nautical miles, which was covered in 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 490 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at MMCU General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport, achieving a score of 97.8%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 18L from the north, heading 192.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 78 kt. The touchdown point was located 174 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 68 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -20 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 6 kt from 167°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 2,819 feet was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and aligned path after touchdown. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing performance was satisfactory, with only minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The high score of 97.8% reflects the aircraft's ability to execute a smooth and controlled landing in a variety of conditions.
