Keep the wings level on final
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 7,170 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 28 at RJSM Misawa Airport / Misawa Air Base. The takeoff distance was 1,702 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 44°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 330°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The aircraft then took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead RJSM Misawa Airport / Misawa Air Base. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 57 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,134 feet above sea level to 29,255 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,121 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 159 nautical miles. This phase began 23 miles north of Mutsu, Aomori-ken, Japan. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 22 miles north of Rumoi, Hokkaido, Japan. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 28,696 feet above sea level to 1,489 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,207 feet.
The final approach to runway 08 at RJCW Wakkanai Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 75.0° at an altitude of 1,450 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 7,170 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 41°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind component was 17 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 64 knots and a touchdown distance of 413 feet, which was 18% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -289 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,300 feet.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 287 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 606 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at RJCW Wakkanai Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 75.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,450 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.
Upon landing, the Vision Jet touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 7,170 feet. The threshold height was good, suggesting that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 68 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled speed during the final approach.
The touchdown distance of 413 feet was good, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 41°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots, but no headwind. The total landing distance of 1,300 feet was 18% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a safe stop. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at RJCW Wakkanai Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
