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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 546 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 546 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 167 m 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 ETHL Laupheim Air Base, a process that took 11 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 470 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 87 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Laupheim Air Base, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the air base, where the aircraft climbed from 2,381 feet above sea level to 10,114 feet, an increase of 7,733 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles south of Griesingen, lasting 5 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb, this time from 10,354 feet to 11,127 feet, an increase of 773 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Hettingen.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile west of Sigmaringen, lasting 3 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began its descent from 11,121 feet to 6,661 feet, a decrease of 4,461 feet in 2 minutes, covering 96 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Herdwangen-Schonach.
The aircraft then started another enroute climb, this time from 6,625 feet to 9,067 feet, an increase of 2,442 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The climb started overhead LSGR Reichenbach Air Base in Switzerland. However, the aircraft then began its descent from 9,080 feet to 4,044 feet, a decrease of 5,036 feet in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The descent started overhead Krattigen.
The final approach to runway 22 at LSGR Reichenbach Air Base was from the north-east, with a heading of 221.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,652 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a runway length of 546 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 88 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 166 meters, with a touchdown speed of 82 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and winds of 3 knots at 321°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 354 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 154 nautical miles, taking 28 minutes, and the aircraft used 111 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet successfully completed a landing at LSGR Reichenbach Air Base, achieving a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,652 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 22, which has a length of 546 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than desired at 88 knots, which may have been a result of the aircraft's approach speed or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than necessary. The touchdown distance of 166 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft maintained control and slowed down effectively during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 82 knots was reported as fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher velocity than intended. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and gentle. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the pilot's alignment or the aircraft's directional control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 321°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 354 meters was 65% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft maintained control and slowed down effectively during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft's directional control and braking performance were satisfactory. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LSGR Reichenbach Air Base was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
