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 4,820 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,820 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,127 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 LFMK Carcassonne Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 1,557 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 59°F temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb started overhead LFMK Carcassonne Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,457 feet above sea level to 29,753 feet, a vertical increase of 28,296 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Dieupentale, France, and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 76 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Gensac, France, and took the aircraft from 29,748 feet to 3,027 feet, a decrease of 26,721 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started overhead Rochefort, France, and lasted for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at LFBH La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 273.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,334 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 62 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,117 feet. The touchdown rate was good at -159 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 61°F temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 0 degrees. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,666 feet, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 236 nautical miles, took 78 minutes, and used 519 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet successfully completed a landing at LFBH La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 27 from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,334 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, showcasing the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
Upon landing, the Vision Jet touched down on the runway with a speed of 62 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,117 ft was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown rate of -159 fpm was within the desired parameters, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 10 kt from the north. This minimal wind made it easier for the pilot to maintain alignment with the runway during the approach and landing phases. The runway length of 4,820 ft was more than sufficient to accommodate the Vision Jet's landing requirements, and the pilot made good use of this available space.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slightly above-target threshold speed of 76 kt. However, this did not seem to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the aircraft, as the pilot was still able to achieve a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a high level of situational awareness and control throughout the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,666 ft was 35% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the available runway space. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and had brought it to a safe stop. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience in operating the Vision Jet.
