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 5,887 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,545 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 LFMD Cannes-Mandelieu Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 1,647 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 61°F temperature and a 7-knot headwind at 340°. The climb started overhead LFMD Cannes-Mandelieu Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,019 feet above sea level to 28,243 feet, a total increase of 27,224 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northwest of La Croix-Valmer, lasting 25 minutes and covering 109 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 1 mile south of La Grande-Motte, with a decrease in altitude from 28,197 feet to 3,498 feet, a total decrease of 24,699 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Bram, lasting 3 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at LFMK Carcassonne Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 100.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,816 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 60 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 83 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,997 feet, accounting for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 233 nautical miles, taking 82 minutes, and the aircraft used 599 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LFMK Carcassonne Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,816 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway 09 threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a touchdown speed of 60 kt, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,538 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The pilot maintained a smooth touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute (fpm), further emphasizing the precision of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a moderate headwind of 14 kt. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach. The runway length of 5,887 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the Vision Jet's landing requirements.
The total landing distance of 1,997 feet was 34% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's speed and direction during the landing phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LFMK Carcassonne Airport was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's capabilities.
