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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,555 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,074 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 LGSM Samos Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft taking off after covering 29% of the runway's length, which was 1,909 feet. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 59°F temperature and a 3-knot wind blowing at 4°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was negligible. The enroute climb began overhead Pythagoreio in the North Aegean, Greece, where the aircraft ascended from 1,008 feet above sea level to 28,859 feet, an increase of 27,851 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles northwest of Datca in Mugla, Turkey, and lasted for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 139 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 6 miles west of Tekirova in Antalya, Turkey, where the aircraft descended from 28,889 feet to 1,813 feet, a decrease of 27,076 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 80.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,682 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 08, which was 6,555 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 76 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,071 feet, and the touchdown speed was 67 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was perfect at 50 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 61°F temperature and a 4-knot wind blowing at 120°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,169 feet, which was 48% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 292 nautical miles, and the flight lasted 75 minutes. The aircraft used 524 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 80.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,682 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 above the target threshold speed of 76 kt, registering at 76 kt. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,071 ft was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 67 kt was also satisfactory. The most impressive aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfectly controlled at 50 fpm.
The runway touchdown alignment was also flawless, indicating that the pilot had maintained precise control over the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 120°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 3 kt each, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,169 ft was 48% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control over the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the Vision Jet's capabilities and the pilot's skill in executing a precise and controlled touchdown.
