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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,384 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,815 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 MPTO Tocumen International Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 03R, taking off with a liftoff speed of 101 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 9 knots at an angle of 49 degrees.
The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 18,864 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,861 feet from the initial altitude of 1,002 feet. This climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles. The enroute climb started overhead MPTO Tocumen International Airport, located in the Provincia de Panama, Panama.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 8 miles south of Icanti, also located in the Provincia de Panama, Panama. This phase of the flight lasted for 39 minutes and covered a distance of 189 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile south east of Santiago de Tolu, in the Departamento de Sucre, Colombia. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 52 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from a height of 18,562 feet above sea level to 1,588 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 01 at SKCG Rafael Nuñez International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 359.0 degrees. The approach was made at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, and at an altitude of 1,577 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 8,384 feet. The threshold height at 81 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 96 knots.
The touchdown point was 387 feet beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 81 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 7 knots at an angle of 10 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,381 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 288 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 581 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at SKCG Rafael Nuñez International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,577 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 01, which has a length of 8,384 feet.
However, the threshold height at 81 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 96 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilot may have been applying too much power during the approach.
The touchdown point was 387 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 81 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the approach path.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly high threshold height and speed.
The total landing distance was 4,381 feet, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been slowed down too quickly or that the pilot may have applied too much reverse thrust during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the rollout path.
Overall, while the Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at SKCG Rafael Nuñez International Airport, there were some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The pilot may need to review and refine their approach and landing techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the landing.
