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 745 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 745 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 138 m 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 Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 18, with a takeoff distance of 704 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a 10-knot headwind at 180 degrees. The enroute climb started overhead Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 985 feet above sea level to 8,640 feet, an increase of 7,655 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 6 miles northwest of Corbara, France, and lasted for 42 minutes, covering a distance of 187 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 9,647 feet to 10,686 feet, an increase of 1,038 feet in 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The climb took place overhead Orta San Giulio, Italy.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 2 miles west of Ornavasso, Italy, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began its descent from 10,693 feet to 9,133 feet, a decrease of 1,560 feet in 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The descent took place overhead Domodossola, Italy.
The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 9,167 feet to 11,656 feet, an increase of 2,489 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The climb took place 3 miles northwest of Varzo, Italy. The aircraft then began its descent from 11,686 feet to 5,755 feet, a decrease of 5,931 feet in 4 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The descent took place 5 miles east of Ernen, Switzerland.
The final approach to runway 23 at Ulrichen Airport took place from the northeast, heading 204.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 136 meters and a touchdown speed of 70 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -145 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 3°C temperature and a 4-knot headwind at 307 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 272 meters, accounting for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 246 nautical miles, taking 64 minutes, and the aircraft used 133 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LSMC Ulrichen, achieving a score of 92.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 204.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 23, which has a length of 745 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 76 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to make some adjustments to the approach to achieve a more optimal speed. The touchdown distance was good at 136 meters, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -145 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown rate was reported as smooth, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: temperature 3°C, wind 4 knots at 307°, crosswind 4 knots, and headwind 1 knot. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they do not appear to have significantly impacted the landing.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LSMC Ulrichen was successful, with a good touchdown distance and a smooth touchdown rate. While there were some minor issues with the threshold speed and runway touchdown position, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing and rollout phases.
