Track the centreline
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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 15° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,730 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from KOXC Waterbury Oxford Airport was marked by a smooth taxiing phase, taking just 4 minutes to reach the runway. Runway 18 was selected for departure, and the aircraft accelerated down the 733-meter stretch, using only 41% of the available runway. Liftoff speed was achieved at 93 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude, clearing the surrounding terrain.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 1,424 feet above sea level to 2,102 feet, a gain of 678 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, and the aircraft leveled off at the designated altitude. The enroute level cruise phase followed, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 2,102 feet as it traversed 34 nautical miles in 8 minutes. The descent phase began overhead Eatons Neck, New York, and the aircraft descended from 1,906 feet to 1,103 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final level cruise phase lasted 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final approach to runway 01 at KFRG Republic Airport.
The approach and landing phase was executed with good results, with a threshold speed of 84 knots and a touchdown speed of 66 knots. The touchdown distance was 348 meters, and the aircraft touched down at the designated runway 01. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 10.2 meters from the centerline. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned, deviating 16.0 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was considered good, with a total landing distance of 663 meters, or 38% of the available runway. The total flight distance was 61 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 218 kilograms of fuel during the 18-minute flight.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 01 at KFRG Republic Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed was also well-managed at 84 kt, indicating a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 348 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 66 kt was also satisfactory.
However, the touchdown rate of -225 fpm was slightly higher than desired, suggesting a slightly steeper descent than intended. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 663 m was 38% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.0 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation during the rollout phase. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.3%.
