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 7,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 202 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 KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 2,732 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, and climbed from 9,616 feet above sea level to 18,996 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,380 feet in 6 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles south east of Norwood, Colorado, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering 96 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles south of Basalt, and descended from 18,993 feet above sea level to 14,115 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,877 feet in 4 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 8 miles south west of Aspen, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles south west of Aspen, and descended from 14,405 feet above sea level to 8,854 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,551 feet in 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 33 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) was from the south, with a heading of 341.0°, at 1 nautical mile and 1,154 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 199 feet, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 68 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -644 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 609 feet, which accounted for 9% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 140 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 361 pounds.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) on runway 33. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 341.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 1,154 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 70 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 68 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -644 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft may have experienced a slight loss of lift or a higher-than-ideal rate of descent during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach or landing. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. The total landing distance of 609 feet was within 9% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrated good performance and control during the landing, with some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown speed and runway alignment. However, the aircraft's ability to roll out smoothly and come to a stop within a short distance indicates a high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilot.
