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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,732 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 430 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 LSPN Triengen Airfield, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 15, with a takeoff distance of 399 meters, which accounted for 94% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 203 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Bueron in the Kanton Luzern, Switzerland, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,622 feet above sea level to 10,802 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,180 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Emmen in the Kanton Luzern, Switzerland, and lasted for 17 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 72 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 3 miles southwest of Sils-Segl Maria in the Kanton Graubunden, Switzerland, where the aircraft descended from 10,779 feet above sea level to 7,555 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,223 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at LSZS Samedan Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 29.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,937 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 430 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 69 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -57 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 13 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 776 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 95 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes. The aircraft used 142 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LSZS Samedan Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 29.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,937 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 7°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 13°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 86 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 430 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the center of the runway. The local weather conditions, including a 2-knot headwind and a 1-knot crosswind, did not significantly impact the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 776 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LSZS Samedan Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and landing. The high score of 97.2% reflects the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
