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 7,970 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,542 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Vision Jet started with a departure roll on runway 30 at 3V5 Ft Collins Downtown. The takeoff distance was 2,418 ft, covering 47% of the runway, with a liftoff speed of 96 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 31 °F with a wind of 10 kn at 28 °, resulting in a crosswind of 10 kn and a headwind of 2 kn.
The enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of Fort Collins, climbing from 5,978 ft asl to 14,507 ft asl in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 20 nm. The level cruise segment started 3 miles northeast of Estes Park and lasted 4 minutes, covering 24 nm.
The first descent on the route began 6 miles southwest of Grand Lake, descending from 14,514 ft asl to 13,679 ft asl in 2 minutes and covering 12 nm. The next level cruise segment commenced 4 miles west of Hot Sulphur Springs and lasted 4 minutes, covering 20 nm.
The second descent on the route started 13 miles south of Kremmling, descending from 13,485 ft asl to 9,220 ft asl in 7 minutes and covering 18 nm. The landing took place on runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, with a runway length of 7,970 ft. The height at the threshold was 41 ft agl, and the speed at the threshold was 81 kn. The touchdown occurred 1,542 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 66 kn and a VSI of -160 ft/min.
The local weather at the time of landing was 28 °F with a wind of 6 kn at 170 °, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kn and no headwind. The total landing distance was 2,701 ft, covering 34% of the runway. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the total flight distance was 103 nm, taking 71 minutes and using 287 lbs of fuel. The flight was characterized by smooth takeoff and landing procedures, efficient climbing and descent strategies, and accurate navigation throughout the route.
Overall, you had a strong aircraft landing score of 94.7%, which is impressive! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing to see what went well and where there may be room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, it appears that the descent path was slightly above the glideslope limit, which could indicate that adjustments were needed to better align with the desired glide path. Additionally, the speed was a tad below the target, suggesting a need for slightly higher airspeed control.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you did well with a good threshold height and a great landing flare. This indicates that you were able to approach the runway at the correct altitude and execute a smooth transition from descent to landing. However, the touchdown rate could have been improved slightly to create an even smoother touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your speed was on target, and touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a positive sign of accuracy. The fact that the runway touchdown position was only 9 ft from the centerline shows good precision in your approach to the runway.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 18 ft from the centerline suggests a slightly wider than optimal landing, which could benefit from improvements in aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline more accurately.
Overall, your landing was strong, with key areas of improvement in maintaining glide path alignment, fine-tuning touchdown rates for smoother landings, and focusing on runway alignment during rollout. Keep up the good work, and continue practicing to enhance your skills even further. With some adjustments to certain aspects of your approach and landing technique, you have the potential to achieve an even higher landing score in the future.
