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 7,602 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,239 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 Cork Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,469 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 54°F temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 249 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Cork Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,371 feet above sea level to 30,718 feet, a total increase of 29,347 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 24 miles south east of Kilmore Quay. This phase lasted for 36 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 204 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile south east of Lightwater, with the aircraft descending from 31,298 feet to 2,649 feet, a decrease of 28,649 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south east of Walsall, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at Birmingham International Airport took place from the north west, with the aircraft heading at 146.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 66 knots and a distance of 1,233 feet. The touchdown rate was excellent at -94 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 61°F temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,918 feet, accounting for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 394 nautical miles, taking 99 minutes, and the aircraft used 668 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 15, which has a length of 7,602 feet.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target at 61 feet agl, while the speed was also slightly above target at 78 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 1,233 feet was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 66 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -94 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 3,918 feet was 52% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at EGBB Birmingham International Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of challenging conditions.
