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 5,342 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 877 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Ignatyevo Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 18, with a takeoff distance of 1,939 feet, which was 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 48°F and winds of 7 knots at 149°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. After departing from Ignatyevo Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport and climbing from 1,651 feet above sea level to 29,398 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,748 feet in 18 minutes, covering 61 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued until the aircraft reached a cruising altitude, where it leveled off and began its enroute level cruise. This phase of the flight started 16 miles west of Svobodny Airport and lasted 12 minutes, covering 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 26 miles north of Shimanovsk and descending from 29,323 feet above sea level to 4,205 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,118 feet in 23 minutes, covering 68 nautical miles.
The enroute descent continued until the aircraft reached a lower altitude, where it leveled off and began another enroute level cruise. This phase of the flight started 10 miles south of Zeya Airport and lasted 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 6 miles south of Zeya Airport and descending from 3,747 feet above sea level to 2,529 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,219 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at Zeya Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,583 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 03, which had a length of 5,342 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 875 feet, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 85 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -166 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 45°F and winds of 10 knots at 139°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the tailwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 2,435 feet, which was 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 203 nautical miles, and the flight took 66 minutes. The aircraft used 483 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at UHBE Zeya Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,583 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 5,342 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to improve the landing by reducing the speed before touchdown. The touchdown distance was good at 875 feet, which is a reasonable distance considering the runway length. However, the touchdown speed of 85 knots was too fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to improve the landing.
The touchdown rate was good at -166 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor error in navigation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 45°F and winds of 10 knots at 139°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions may have affected the landing, but the pilot was able to manage them effectively.
The total landing distance was 2,435 feet, which is 46% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there are areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed to improve the landing.
