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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,479 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,418 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 29 at LTCV Şırnak Şerafettin Elçi Airport. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, took off with a takeoff distance of 2,413 feet, which was 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 87 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 323 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of LTCV Şırnak Şerafettin Elçi Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,039 feet above sea level to 26,110 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,071 feet in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles south of Dihok, Iraq, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 11 miles southeast of Erbil, Iraq, and descended from 26,197 feet above sea level to 12,139 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,057 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 11 miles northwest of ORSU Sulaymaniyah International Airport in Iraq and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 9 miles west of ORHL Halabjah al Jadidah Airport in Iraq and took the aircraft from 11,038 feet above sea level to 3,830 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,209 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at ORSU Sulaymaniyah International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 313.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,365 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,415 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 69 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -20 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The total landing distance was 2,745 feet, which was 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 218 nautical miles, and the flight used 439 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at ORSU Sulaymaniyah International Airport, achieving a score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,365 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 31, which has a length of 11,479 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 80 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,415 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 69 knots was good. The most notable aspect of the landing was the perfect touchdown rate of -20 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 13 feet off the centerline. This minor misalignment did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 86°F.
The total landing distance of 2,745 feet was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at ORSU Sulaymaniyah International Airport was a successful and precise operation, with the pilot demonstrating excellent flying skills and adherence to standard operating procedures.
