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 10,065 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,177 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Sana'a International Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 18, taking off with a distance of 3,164 feet, which was 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile south of Sana'a International Airport and reached an altitude of 31,067 feet, an increase of 22,830 feet from the initial altitude of 8,237 feet. This climb took 20 minutes and covered 61 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this time were a temperature of 67°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 164°.
The enroute level cruise started 30 miles northeast of Abbs Airport and lasted for 36 minutes, covering 194 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 35 miles southeast of Bisha Airport, descending from 30,996 feet to 5,574 feet in 15 minutes and covering 39 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Bisha Airport was made from the north, heading 186.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,690 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,170 feet, which was 21% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 67 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 2,071 feet, and the total flight distance was 302 nautical miles, taking 81 minutes and using 512 pounds of fuel. The taxiing from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The Vision Jet successfully completed a landing at OEBH Bisha Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 186.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,690 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the descent and maintained a safe altitude. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 80 kt, but this did not compromise the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 1,170 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 67 kt was well within the desired range.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -67 fpm. This indicates that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and maintained a stable rate of descent, resulting in a smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skills in navigating the aircraft to the centerline of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 8 kt at 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, and the tailwind component was 7 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing performance. The total landing distance of 2,071 feet was only 21% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent to achieve a short landing distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skills in maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the Vision Jet's capabilities, showcasing a high level of precision and control throughout the entire landing process.
