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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Plan view — the full 674 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 91 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight saw the Vision Jet taxiing from its parking spot to the runway, covering less than a nautical mile and taking approximately one minute. Departing from runway 03L at Haguenau Airfield, the aircraft took off, with a takeoff distance of 528 meters, which accounted for 82% of the runway. The initial liftoff speed reached 96 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, the first point of interest was the enroute climb, initiated overhead Kaltenhouse in Grand Est, France. The aircraft ascended from 1,176 feet above sea level to 9,700 feet asl, covering a vertical distance of 8,524 feet and a horizontal distance of 16 nautical miles within six minutes. This marked a significant increase in altitude for the Vision Jet.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting south-west of Ostwald in Grand Est, France. The aircraft descended from 9,949 feet asl to 4,445 feet asl, a decrease of 5,505 feet within 2 minutes and covering 86 nautical miles. During this descent, the pilot likely leveled the aircraft to initiate level cruise, achieving stable flight. A brief enroute level cruise ensued, lasting four minutes and covering 3 nautical miles before the aircraft continued with its scheduled flight path.
The final approach to the runway at Courtelary Airfield, LSZJ, began approximately two nautical miles from the landing site, heading east at 272.0 ° and 1,398 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on runway 24, with a length of 674 meters. The aircraft landed successfully, with a touchdown speed of 76 knots, which was a little fast, but a touchdown distance of 89 meters was well within the target. Upon landing, the aircraft exhibited a good touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute.
Post-landing analysis revealed a strong performance from the Vision Jet. The aircraft covered a total flight distance of 107 nautical miles, utilized 120 kilograms of fuel, and completed the journey in 18 minutes.
A Vision Jet successfully completed a landing at LSZJ Courtelary Airfield, scoring 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway 24 from the east, heading 272.0°, at 2 nautical miles and 1,398 feet above ground level (agl). This marked the beginning of the final approach phase, where precise control and navigation are crucial for a safe landing.
Upon landing, the Vision Jet touched down successfully on the designated runway 24, which measured 674 meters in length. The threshold height, indicating the altitude at which the aircraft should ideally touch down, was found to be within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was a little too high at 79 knots, exceeding the target speed. Despite this slight deviation, the landing process continued, and key metrics were closely monitored.
The touchdown speed was recorded at 76 knots, slightly above the desired threshold. Nevertheless, this slight increase did not significantly impact the overall landing outcome. The touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft touched down relatively smoothly. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment, an essential criterion for a safe landing, was rated as very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a moderate temperature of 16°C and light winds of 6 knots. While crosswinds measured 5 kt, tailwinds accounted for 4 kt, presenting an overall neutral or slightly assisted condition for the aircraft. With these conditions in place, the aircraft was able to maintain a stable flight trajectory and land safely.
Upon touchdown, the Total landing distance of 322 meters was recorded, which accounted for approximately 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment, the aircraft's orientation following touchdown, was also found to be excellent, demonstrating effective control and precision on the part of the pilot. The overall landing performance of the Vision Jet was deemed highly satisfactory, culminating in a successful and safe touchdown.
