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 1,790 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,790 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 538 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EDUE Unterwössen Airfield, where the Vision Jet took off with a takeoff distance of 1,736 feet, which was 68% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 86 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots at 178 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb over Schleching in Bavaria, Germany, where it ascended from 3,221 feet above sea level to 9,356 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,135 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Durchholzen in Tirol, Austria, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 10,077 feet above sea level to 10,793 feet above sea level, an increase of 716 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile northeast of Fliess in Tirol, Austria. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Kappl in Tirol, Austria, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 2 miles northwest of Engelberg in Kanton Obwalden, Switzerland, and descended from 10,822 feet above sea level to 4,339 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,483 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at LSGR Reichenbach Air Base was made from the northeast, with a heading of 219.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,836 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 532 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 67 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -25 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 51 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots at 177 degrees, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 5-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,248 feet, which was 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 206 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 56 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 654 pounds.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LSGR Reichenbach Air Base, achieving a score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 219.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,836 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 1,790 feet. The threshold height was good, and the pilot maintained a safe speed of 76 knots, well below the target threshold speed. This was a crucial aspect of the landing, as it prevented the aircraft from stalling and ensured a stable touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 532 feet was good, and the touchdown speed of 67 knots was also within the acceptable range. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at -25 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any sudden deceleration, which can be hazardous to the aircraft and its occupants.
The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and control during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 51°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 177°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 5 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.
The total landing distance of 1,248 feet was 70% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a safe and stable exit from the runway. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LSGR Reichenbach Air Base was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and expertise.
