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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,702 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,702 m of the 3,384 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 703 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Francisco Carle Airport took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Departure and takeoff began with a roll on runway 31, where the aircraft covered a takeoff distance of 990 meters, taking up 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed of the aircraft was 91 knots, at which point the Vision Jet broke free from the runway and ascended into the sky.
The flight initially encountered local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, and a wind speed of 5 knots blowing from a direction of 340 degrees. Given the wind direction, the resulting crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind stood at 4 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb, lifting off from the ground and gradually ascending to higher altitudes. This climb phase saw the Vision Jet ascend from an initial ground level height of 11,818 feet to an altitude of 21,461 feet, a vertical distance of nearly 9,643 feet over the course of 8 minutes and a horizontal distance of 28 nautical miles.
Climbing the aircraft leveled off at the desired altitude and entered its initial enroute level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for 12 minutes, covering an impressive 191 nautical miles. This prolonged cruise phase was significant, contributing greatly to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the flight.
Following the initial cruise phase, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent, gradually reducing its altitude from 21,950 feet to 15,500 feet, a decrease of 6,449 feet over the course of 5 minutes and a horizontal distance of 22 nautical miles. A subsequent level cruise phase was undertaken, lasting just 2 minutes as the aircraft cruised from an altitude of 15,201 feet to 11,282 feet, a short vertical distance of 3,919 feet, over a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Finally, in the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 28 at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport. Under local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 2 knots blowing from a direction of 217 degrees, the Vision Jet descended gradually, maintaining steady speed to prepare for landing.
Despite reaching an unnecessarily high threshold speed of 93 knots, the touchdown was successful, with the aircraft touching down 364 meters beyond the runway's designated touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was slightly high at 78 knots, while the touchdown rate of 80 feet per minute was remarkably steady, indicating excellent piloting skills and control during the landing phase. The runway touchdown position deviated slightly from the centreline, while the subsequent rollout saw a further deviation of 7.7 meters from the runway's centreline.
Upon landing, the Vision Jet taxied towards the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. With the flight now complete, it's clear that the Vision Jet's pilots operated the aircraft with precision and skill, navigating diverse wind conditions and varying flight phases to bring the aircraft safely to its destination.
The aircraft Vision Jet achieved a landing score of 90.4%, indicating a solid performance from the pilot. The approach to runway 28 at SPZO Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport from the east was executed with a heading of 281.0° at 3 nautical miles and 498 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, it was noted that the pilot had a good threshold height, but there was an excessively high threshold speed of 93 knots. This may indicate a slightly rough start to the landing, which was later brought under control as evidenced by a touchdown speed of 78 knots. However, the touchdown speed was still considered fast for a typical landing.
The touchdown point was 364 meters beyond the touchdown zone, exceeding the standard distance. Nevertheless, the pilot achieved a flawless touchdown rate of 80 feet per minute (fpm), contributing to a well-executed landing overall. One noticeable deviation was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was offset by 7.3 meters from the centerline.
Local weather conditions during the landing included a temperature of 15°C and a very light headwind of 1 knot, with winds blowing at 217°. The pilot had a relatively calm wind situation to contend with, which could have contributed to the slightly high touchdown speed.
The aircraft had a total landing distance of 1,698 meters, which equates to 50% of the runway length. While this is still a respectable distance, it is worth noting that the typical landing distance for an aircraft of similar size should be closer to 30% of the runway length.
Lastly, upon rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off centerline, by 7.7 meters, highlighting a minor deviation from optimal flight control. Considering the overall performance, the pilot and crew demonstrated a clear understanding of the aircraft's handling and landing procedures, leading to a score of 90.4%.
