Keep the wings level 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.
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 652 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 652 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 194 m touchdown sits inside 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 KFME Tipton Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 497 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 90 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots blowing from 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Odenton, Maryland, and rising from an altitude of 1,131 feet above sea level to 2,683 feet, an increase of 1,552 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northeast of Gambrills, Maryland, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 1 mile northwest of Riviera Beach, Maryland, and rising from 2,656 feet to 14,084 feet, an increase of 11,428 feet in 9 minutes, while covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northeast of Rising Sun, Maryland, and lasting for 16 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 88 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile east of Hackettstown, New Jersey, and descending from 13,891 feet to 1,305 feet, a decrease of 12,587 feet in 10 minutes, while covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at N72 Warwick Municipal Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 206.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 751 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 652 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed of 74 knots was well below the target, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling.
The touchdown distance was good at 192 meters, and the touchdown speed of 67 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots blowing from 318 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 350 meters, accounting for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 179 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 5 kilograms.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at N72 Warwick Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 206.0° at 2 nautical miles and 751 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, ensuring a smooth touchdown on the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold speed of 74 knots was well below the target, indicating a cautious approach to avoid stalling. The touchdown distance of 192 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 67 knots was within the acceptable range. The rate of descent was smooth at -110 feet per minute, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 318°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway and maintained control throughout the landing.
The total landing distance of 350 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability after touchdown. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at N72 Warwick Municipal Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
