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 8,231 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,189 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 24 at King Khalid Air Base (OEKM) in the Asir Region of Saudi Arabia. The takeoff distance was 1,055 feet, which accounted for 8% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 93 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Khamis Mushait, and continued to climb from an altitude of 7,610 feet above sea level to 30,600 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,990 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 30 miles south east of Quz South Airport (OE48) in the Mecca Region of Saudi Arabia. This phase lasted for 55 minutes and covered a distance of 246 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 14 miles east of Port Sudan New International Airport (HSPN) in the Red Sea region of Sudan. The descent from 31,018 feet above sea level to 2,589 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,429 feet in 12 minutes, covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south east of HSPN Port Sudan New International Airport, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles south of HSPN Port Sudan New International Airport. The descent from 2,598 feet above sea level to 1,451 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,147 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at HSPN Port Sudan New International Airport was made from the south, heading 347.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,186 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 70 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 93 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 79 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,628 feet, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
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 342 nautical miles, which was covered in 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 680 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at HSPN Port Sudan New International Airport, achieving a score of 94.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 347.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed, registering 81 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 1,186 feet was well within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the smooth touchdown rate of -126 feet per minute (fpm) ensured a stable and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 93°F and a gentle wind of 7 knots from 79°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 7 knots, while the headwind was negligible at 0 knots. The pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions and execute a precise landing is commendable.
The total landing distance of 1,628 feet was only 20% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at HSPN Port Sudan New International Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and touchdown.
