Landing Summary

The Vision Jet successfully completed a landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on runway 01. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 77 knots, but still within a safe range. The touchdown distance of 1,094 feet was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled landing.

However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's approach and landing technique. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 48°F.

The total landing distance of 2,722 feet was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KDCA was successful, with a high score of 99.3%.
