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 10,528 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,078 ft 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 Ben Gurion International Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 1,614 feet, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 95 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 977 feet above sea level to 30,779 feet, an increase of 29,802 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 77 nautical miles. This enroute climb started over Yehud-Monosson in the Tel Aviv District of Israel. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 90°.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 81 minutes and covered a distance of 396 nautical miles. This phase began 8 miles west of the Al Qatranah Highway Strip in Jordan. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 34 miles southeast of Umm Lejj Airport in Saudi Arabia. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 45 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 31,626 feet to 1,880 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at Yanbu Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 278.0° at an altitude of 1,823 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 10,528 feet, and the threshold height was good. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed at 78 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,074 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 72 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 80°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 240°.
The total landing distance was 3,830 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 46 feet from the centerline. The flight then concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 525 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 132 minutes. The aircraft used 858 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at OEYN Yanbu Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 278.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,823 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 10,528 feet and the local weather conditions.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was above the target speed, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 1,074 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent.
The landing distance of 3,830 feet accounted for 36% of the runway's length, indicating a relatively short rollout. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off by 46 feet. These minor deviations suggest that the pilot may have had some difficulty maintaining a perfectly aligned approach and touchdown.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 80°F and winds of 5 knots at 240°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind of 3 knots and headwind of 4 knots were minimal, allowing the pilot to focus on maintaining a stable approach and touchdown. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at OEYN Yanbu Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
