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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,168 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 21 at KFLG Flagstaff Pulliam International Airport. The takeoff distance was 648 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Kachina Village, Arizona. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 7,815 feet above sea level to 20,307 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,492 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles southeast of Lake Montezuma, Arizona. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles west of Strawberry, Arizona. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 20,679 feet above sea level to 5,815 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,863 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Scottsdale, Arizona. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Rio Verde, Arizona. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,976 feet above sea level to 3,975 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,002 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of Rio Verde, Arizona. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at KSDL Scottsdale Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 203.0 degrees and at an altitude of 2,120 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 21 at KSDL Scottsdale Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 72 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 672 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway.
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 128 nautical miles, and the flight took 41 minutes. The aircraft used 160 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KSDL Scottsdale Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 203.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 2,120 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 21, which has a length of 2,168 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 88 knots. The touchdown point was 72 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 672 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high degree of control and stability throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KSDL Scottsdale Airport was a success, with a high score and a safe and controlled touchdown. The minor deviations in touchdown point and touchdown rate did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft.
