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 1,020 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,020 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 197 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 Frankfurt Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll occurred on runway 25C, with a takeoff distance of 536 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a 5-knot wind at 331°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, Hessen, Germany, where the aircraft ascended from 1,340 feet above sea level to 17,631 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,291 feet in 12 minutes, covering 34 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 1 mile north of Altrip, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, lasting 3 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile west of Graben-Neudorf, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 17,644 feet above sea level to 8,563 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,081 feet in 2 minutes, covering 138 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 3 miles northeast of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Neuchatel, Switzerland, lasting 5 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The final descent started 1 mile east of Saignelegier, Jura, Switzerland, where the aircraft descended from 9,168 feet above sea level to 4,814 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,354 feet in 5 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Les Eplatures Airport, LSGC, was initiated from the northeast, heading 235.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,447 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was performed at 2,321 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 24, with a runway length of 1,020 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 88 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 196 meters, with a touchdown speed of 81 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -84 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°C temperature and a 4-knot wind at 79°, with a 2-knot crosswind and a 3-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 389 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 216 nautical miles, taking approximately 38 minutes, and the aircraft used 149 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 24 at LSGC Les Eplatures Airport, achieving a score of 89.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 235.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,447 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 1,020 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 79 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing speed. This could be attributed to various factors such as wind resistance or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance was measured at 196 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 81 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a higher touchdown rate. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was excellent at -84 feet per minute, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or tailwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 12°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 79°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 389 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrating its capabilities in various weather conditions.
