Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 7,995 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 786 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 YAYE Ayers Rock Connellan Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 13, with a takeoff distance of 1,743 feet, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 104°F temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 139 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 20 knots. The enroute climb started overhead YAYE Ayers Rock Connellan Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 2,633 feet above sea level to 4,076 feet, an increase of 1,443 feet in 1 minute, covering 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-east of Yulara, Northern Territory, Australia, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 5,037 feet above sea level to 2,402 feet, a decrease of 2,635 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute climb, which started overhead Mutitjulu, Northern Territory, Australia, where the aircraft climbed from 2,404 feet above sea level to 25,770 feet, an increase of 23,366 feet in 16 minutes, covering 51 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 24 miles west of ANZ Angus Downs Airport, Angus Downs Station, Northern Territory, Australia, and lasted 4 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 26,041 feet above sea level to 20,134 feet, a decrease of 5,907 feet in 4 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 10 miles east of AU23 Wallara Ranch, Northern Territory, Australia, and lasted 16 minutes, covering 80 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 11 miles west of YDPW Deep Well Airport, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia, where the aircraft descended from 20,118 feet above sea level to 4,338 feet, a decrease of 15,779 feet in 8 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 4 miles north-west of YSTT Santa Teresa Airport, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia, where the aircraft climbed from 4,287 feet above sea level to 12,058 feet, an increase of 7,771 feet in 8 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 5 miles east of Mount Johns, Northern Territory, Australia, where the aircraft descended from 11,988 feet above sea level to 3,606 feet, a decrease of 8,381 feet in 7 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12 at YBAS Alice Springs Airport was from the north-west, with a heading of 118.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,775 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 12 at YBAS Alice Springs Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 197 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 103 knots, which was too fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, despite the local weather conditions of 105°F temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 13 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,723 feet, which is 34% of the runway length. The runway
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at YBAS Alice Springs Airport, achieving a score of 90.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 118.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,775 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 12, which has a length of 7,995 feet.
Upon landing, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 108 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly too fast during the approach. The touchdown point was 197 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have touched down slightly too far down the runway. The touchdown speed of 103 knots was also reported as too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown.
The touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively high rate of descent. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the point of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 105°F, and windy, with a wind speed of 17 knots from 170°.
The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 2,723 feet, which is 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the approach and landing.
However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a perfectly straight course during the rollout, possibly due to the windy conditions or the aircraft's response to the controls. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of speed control and alignment during the rollout.
