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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,817 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,325 ft 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 Adnan Menderes International Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 16R, with a takeoff distance of 2,063 feet, which was 19% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 105 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Adnan Menderes International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 76°F temperature and winds of 5 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,363 feet above sea level to 31,742 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,379 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 2 miles northwest of Kula, Turkey, and remained at that altitude for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 279 nautical miles. The enroute descent then started 15 miles northeast of Mucur, Turkey, with the aircraft descending from 31,657 feet above sea level to 4,907 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,750 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at Kayseri Erkilet Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 259.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,436 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25, which had a length of 9,817 feet. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 79 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,320 feet, and the touchdown speed was 64 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -102 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 75°F temperature and winds of 2 knots at 337 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,971 feet, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 414 nautical miles, taking 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 703 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at LTAU Kayseri Erkilet Airport, achieving a score of 92.6%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the east, heading 259.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,436 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 64 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,320 feet was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in executing a gentle touchdown.
However, there were a few minor deviations from the target parameters. The threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 79 knots. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, although this did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 337°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 3,971 feet was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LTAU Kayseri Erkilet Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
