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 10,044 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 693 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 Hong Kong International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 25C, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 96 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 69 °F, a wind speed of 6 kt at 319 °, resulting in a 6 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Hong Kong International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,039 ft above sea level to 29,979 ft, an increase of 28,940 ft, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 22 miles south east of Huizhou Pingtan, lasting 36 minutes and covering 240 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase of the flight started 19 miles north west of Wang'an Airport, with the aircraft descending from 29,877 ft to 1,582 ft, a decrease of 28,295 ft, in 24 minutes and covering 68 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36R at Tainan International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 358.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,535 ft above ground level.
The landing on runway 36R was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 66 kt and a distance of 688 ft. The touchdown rate was fair at -243 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72 °F, a wind speed of 6 kt at 0 °, resulting in a 0 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,080 ft, which accounted for 21 % of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 379 nautical miles, taking 93 minutes, and the aircraft used 572 lbs of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at RCNN Tainan International Airport / Tainan Air Base, achieving a score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 358.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,535 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, ensuring a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 72 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 688 feet and a touchdown speed of 66 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -243 feet per minute (fpm), which could be considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a moderate headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance of 2,080 feet was within 21% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating excellent control and stability. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing performance was impressive, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout. The minor deviations in touchdown rate and runway alignment did not significantly impact the overall score, resulting in a high score of 96.4%.
