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 12,102 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,074 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 Kazan International Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,818 feet, which was 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 105 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Kazan International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 57°F temperature and a 12-knot headwind. The climb started overhead the airport and continued to an altitude of 29,392 feet, an increase of 28,001 feet in 20 minutes, covering 55 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles northeast of Kanash, Russia, and lasted 55 minutes, covering 246 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 29,608 feet to 20,141 feet, a decrease of 9,467 feet in 12 minutes, covering 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 5 miles southeast of Elektrostal', Russia, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 20,020 feet to 2,039 feet, a decrease of 17,981 feet in 17 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Podosinki Airport, Russia, and lasted 9 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24L at Sheremetyevo International Airport from the east, heading 255.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,319 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,069 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 72 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 63°F temperature and a 5-knot tailwind. The total landing distance was 2,178 feet, which was 18% of the runway length. The taxiing from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 426 nautical miles, taking 127 minutes, and the aircraft used 888 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at UUEE Sheremetyevo International Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 255.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,319 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24L, which has a length of 12,102 feet.
The threshold height was well-maintained, and the threshold speed was above the target at 84 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 1,069 feet, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy and touch down smoothly.
However, the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher rate of descent. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was still within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 140°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,178 feet was only 18% of the runway length, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at UUEE Sheremetyevo International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and the aircraft performing well in the given conditions.
