Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 6,704 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,279 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 at San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (LIRZ), which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 1,462 feet, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 42°F and winds of 4 knots at 43°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from LIRZ, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Torchiagina in Umbria, Italy. The climb took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,729 feet above sea level to 30,193 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,465 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 43 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Borbona in Lazio, Italy. This phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles west of Scoppito in Abruzzo, Italy. The descent took 37 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 30,177 feet above sea level to 1,809 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,368 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 104 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Naples International Airport (LIRN), it began its final approach to runway 06 from the southwest, heading at 55.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,501 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at LIRN were a temperature of 57°F and winds of 8 knots at 349°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 06, which has a length of 6,704 feet. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 86 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 1,272 feet, and the touchdown speed was 77 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was good at -179 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total landing distance was 2,058 feet, which is 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 161 nautical miles, and the flight took 68 minutes. The aircraft used 488 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a score of 90.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 55.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,501 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 06, which has a length of 6,704 feet.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft was found to be above the target height, indicating a slight overshoot. Additionally, the threshold speed was higher than desired, at 86 knots. However, the touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 1,272 feet. The touchdown speed was slightly faster than optimal, at 77 knots, but the touchdown rate was within acceptable limits, at -179 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 349°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft's alignment with the runway during touchdown and rollout was perfect, demonstrating good control and stability.
The total landing distance covered by the Vision Jet was 2,058 feet, which accounts for approximately 31% of the runway length. This indicates a relatively short landing distance, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. Overall, the Vision Jet's performance during this landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement.
