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 1,751 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,751 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 530 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 LSME Emmen Air Base, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,703 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 249°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. With these conditions in mind, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Emmen in the Kanton Luzern, Switzerland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,440 feet above sea level to 10,798 feet, an increase of 8,358 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Unterageri in the Kanton Zug, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 10,786 feet to 11,436 feet, an increase of 651 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile southwest of Siebnen in the Kanton Schwyz, Switzerland.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile southwest of Filzbach in the Kanton Glarus, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 136 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Hollersbach im Pinzgau in Salzburg, Austria. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 11,398 feet to 4,302 feet, a decrease of 7,096 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWZ Zell am See Airfield took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 72.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,797 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08 took place on a runway with a length of 1,751 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target speed at 82 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 530 feet, and the touchdown speed was 76 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -59 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 180°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,004 feet, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 184 nautical miles, taking 51 minutes, and the aircraft used 575 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LOWZ Zell am See Airfield, achieving a score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 72.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,797 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 82 knots, registering at 76 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 530 feet. The aircraft's descent rate was impressive, with a negative rate of -59 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 180°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 2 knots, while the headwind was negligible at 0 knots. The pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions was evident in the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,004 feet was 57% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LOWZ Zell am See Airfield was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise.
