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 1,037 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 275 m 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 LSMA Alpnach Air Base, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 453 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 94 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of -2°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 169 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Alpnach in the Kanton Obwalden, Switzerland. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,238 feet above sea level to 14,442 feet, an increase of 12,204 feet, in just 7 minutes and covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southeast of Silenen in the Kanton Uri, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Sondalo in Lombardia, Italy. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 14,408 feet to 7,690 feet, a decrease of 6,718 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at LIQM Aviosuperficie Passo del Tonale was made from the east, heading 255.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,381 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 275 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was recorded at 67 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 214 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -4°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 493 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 110 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 32 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 133 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at Aviosuperficie Passo del Tonale, LIQM, with a score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 255.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,381 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 1,037 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 81 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 275 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 67 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect, at 214 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 309°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable and aligned approach, with the runway touchdown alignment being very good.
The total landing distance was 493 meters, which is approximately 48% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at Aviosuperficie Passo del Tonale, LIQM, was a success, with a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft's performance was impressive, considering the challenging weather conditions and the short runway length. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the landing, and the aircraft's systems performed as expected.
