MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 4.5° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
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: seven 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 5,683 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 148 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,906 feet, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90°. The crosswind was negligible, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDDM Munich Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,461 feet above sea level to 19,960 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,499 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile south west of Schongeising and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles south east of See in Austria. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 20,308 feet above sea level to 13,695 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,613 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles south west of Ardez in Switzerland and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Zernez in Switzerland. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 13,174 feet above sea level to 6,355 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,819 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise, which started overhead Scanfs in Switzerland and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at LSZS Samedan Airport, which was approached from the north east with a heading of 218.0° at an altitude of 503 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 21 at LSZS Samedan Airport was successful, with a touchdown speed of 64 knots and a touchdown distance of 143 feet. The touchdown rate was firm at -336 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 51°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 165°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was also 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,859 feet, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 143 nautical miles, which was covered in 53 minutes and used 401 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LSZS Samedan Airport, achieving a score of 91.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 218.0° at 2 nautical miles and 503 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 21, which has a length of 5,683 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 65 knots, which may be a minor concern. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance was good at 143 feet, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was firm at -336 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future approaches.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 51°F and winds of 10 knots at 165°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was also 7 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 3,859 feet, which is 68% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LSZS Samedan Airport was a success, with a score of 91.5%. While there were some minor concerns, such as the slightly below-target threshold speed and the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, the aircraft's performance was generally excellent.
