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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,051 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 566 m past the threshold — beyond 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 KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27, and the takeoff distance was 875 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 89 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 269 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind to contend with. The enroute climb started overhead KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 9,427 feet above sea level to 28,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,581 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 9 miles southwest of Gunnison, Colorado, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering 46 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 5 miles northwest of KANK Salida Airport - Harriet Alexander Field Salida, where the aircraft descended from 27,593 feet above sea level to 7,548 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,045 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at KAPA Centennial Airport was made from the south, heading 359.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,737 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,051 meters, and the threshold height was slightly above the target. The threshold speed was excessively high at 93 knots, and the touchdown speed was too fast at 86 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 270 degrees, with no crosswind or headwind. The touchdown point was 138 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,024 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 180 nautical miles, took 52 minutes, and used 134 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KAPA Centennial Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 35R from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,737 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was conducted on a runway with a length of 3,051 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the approach. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 93 knots, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown speed being too fast at 86 knots. The touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The touchdown point was located 138 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a delay in the pilot's response to the aircraft's descent. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots, making the landing conditions ideal.
The total landing distance was 1,024 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KAPA Centennial Airport was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations in the approach and touchdown speeds, which may be addressed in future training or practice sessions.
