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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,061 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 951 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport in Brasília, Brazil, began with a taxiing phase that took 7 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles to reach the runway. The Vision Jet then executed a departure roll on runway 11R, utilizing 2,345 feet, or 22% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 96 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 74°F, with a 5-knot headwind at 120°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Brasília, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 4,476 feet above sea level to 28,381 feet, a vertical gain of 23,904 feet, over a distance of 62 nautical miles in 17 minutes. The climb phase concluded at a point 23 miles north of Formosa, Brazil, where the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 28,381 feet for 89 minutes while covering 453 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 48 miles southeast of Sento Sé Airport in Bahia, Brazil, and involved a descent from 28,994 feet to 2,915 feet, a vertical loss of 26,080 feet, over a distance of 87 nautical miles in 22 minutes.
The final approach to runway 13 at SBPL Senador Nilo Coelho Airport in Petrolina, Brazil, was executed from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 109.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,653 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 947 feet, or 27% of the runway, and a touchdown speed of 78 knots. The total landing distance was 2,432 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the taxiing phase to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 612 nautical miles, with a flight time of 140 minutes and a fuel consumption of 373 pounds.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 13 at SBPL Senador Nilo Coelho Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from 1,653 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway centerline as it approached the landing site. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 85 knots was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a good touchdown distance of 947 feet, with a touchdown speed of 78 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute was slightly below the optimal range, indicating a slightly longer deceleration phase. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 82°F and a 7-knot headwind, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The Vision Jet's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position as it decelerated. The total landing distance of 2,432 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of the Vision Jet was impressive, with a final score of 98.5%. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown, and controlled rollout earned the aircraft a high rating, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in executing a safe and efficient landing.
