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 full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,013 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 HSPN Port Sudan New International Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 34, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,787 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 83°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 355°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead HSPN Port Sudan New International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,136 feet above sea level to 32,132 feet, an increase of 30,996 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 39 miles east of Tokar, Sudan, and lasted for 55 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 291 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 21 miles northwest of OYKM Kamaran Airport in Yemen and took the aircraft from an altitude of 32,277 feet to 2,327 feet, a decrease of 29,949 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. The final approach to landing at Hodeidah International Airport began from an altitude of 1,686 feet above ground level and lasted for a short distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it began its descent from an altitude of 49 feet above ground level to touch down at 0 feet. This descent took just 9 seconds, and the touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -303 feet per minute, and the touchdown distance was also good at 1,012 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 89°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 195°.
After touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, which took place at an altitude of 39 feet above sea level and covered a distance of 994 feet. The taxiing phase from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 441 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 108 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 720 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully completed a landing at Hodeidah International Airport, achieving a high score of 92.7%. The final approach to landing began at an altitude of 1,686 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the airport. As the aircraft descended, it maintained a steady pace, eventually touching down at a speed of 68 knots, which was considered good.
The touchdown rate was firm at -303 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown distance of 1,012 feet was also deemed good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft to a safe and efficient landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 89°F and winds of 14 knots at 195 degrees.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft experienced a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which the pilot effectively managed to maintain control and stability throughout the landing. The landing rollout was smooth, with the aircraft reaching an altitude of 39 feet above sea level (asl) and covering a distance of 994 feet.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at Hodeidah International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The high score achieved is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
