Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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 10,739 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,642 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 WILL Radin Inten II International Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 14, with a takeoff distance of 2,489 feet, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 88°F temperature and winds of 7 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of WILL Radin Inten II International Airport, Bandar Lampung, and involved a significant ascent from 1,108 feet above sea level to 31,062 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,954 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 37 miles northeast of WIPO Gatot Subrato Airport, Batu Raja-Sumatra Island. This phase lasted for 44 minutes and covered a distance of 232 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 28 miles northwest of WIDS Dabo Airport, Pasirkuning-Singkep Island, and involved a descent from 31,145 feet above sea level to 1,841 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,304 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02L at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 24.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,810 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02L, which had a length of 10,739 feet, was notable for the threshold height being significantly above the target, and the threshold speed being too high at 89 knots. The touchdown point was 171 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 72 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -136 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 84°F temperature and winds of 6 knots at 120 degrees, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,545 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 405 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 103 minutes and a fuel consumption of 657 pounds.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 02L at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS), but the landing was not without some minor issues. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 24.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,810 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 171 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone.
The landing performance was evaluated, and it was found that the threshold height at 90 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 89 knots, which could have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -136 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 2,545 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Vision Jet aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway and come to a stop without any major issues. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed to more optimal levels.
