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 9,052 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 UIAA Chita-Kadala International Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,635 feet, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 17 knots at 280°. The crosswind was negligible, but the headwind was 17 knots. The enroute climb started overhead UIAA Chita-Kadala International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 3,271 feet above sea level to 28,563 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,292 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 22 miles north of Mogzon, Transbaikal Territory, Russia, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 196 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 8 miles northeast of Kabansk, Respublika Buryatiya, Russia, and descended from 28,518 feet above sea level to 9,729 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,788 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 8 miles north of Baykal, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 8 miles south of UIII Irkutsk International Airport, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, and descended from 8,770 feet above sea level to 7,237 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,533 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles east of Shelekhov, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 3 miles southwest of UIIR Vostochny, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, and descended from 6,178 feet above sea level to 3,230 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,948 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at UIII Irkutsk International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 115.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,563 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,071 feet, a touchdown speed of 78 knots, and a touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 99°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,222 feet, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 358 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 109 minutes. The aircraft used 799 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at UIII Irkutsk International Airport, achieving a score of 92.6%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the west, heading 115.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,563 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 9,052 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 knots, which may indicate that the pilot could have slowed down the aircraft more efficiently before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 1,071 feet was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 78 knots was reported as fast, suggesting that the pilot could have slowed down the aircraft more before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline, which may indicate that the pilot could have made adjustments to the approach to achieve a more precise touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were reported as follows: temperature 52°F, wind 3 knots at 99°, crosswind 1 knot, and headwind 2 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 2,222 feet was 25% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centreline after touchdown.
Overall, the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrated good landing skills, but there were some areas for improvement, such as slowing down the aircraft before touchdown and achieving a more precise touchdown position.
