MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Lower the gear before the stabilisation gate instead of carrying it down late on approach.
What happened: The gear was left up on the approach, the flare's sink of 530 fpm arrested then returned at 134 fpm, and this pattern usually carries the touchdown long rather than at the aim point.
Watch for: Watch the gear indicator and confirm it is down before the gate, every approach.
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 90 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 548 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from runway 28R at LTFE Milas Bodrum International Airport, the Vision Jet began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 100 kt in a distance of 705 m, which accounted for 24% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 23 °C and a light wind of 3 kt from 204°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed out of LTFE, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,017 ft to 26,006 ft in a mere 17 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nm. This climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 7 minutes and spanned 93 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude 10 miles south of LGSM Samos Airport. The enroute descent phase commenced 3 miles southeast of LGSO Syros Airport, where the aircraft descended from 26,007 ft to 1,533 ft in 10 minutes, covering 86 nm. The final approach to runway 03L at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 37.0° at 4 nm and 1,239 ft above ground level.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 03L at LGAV, with a touchdown point located 110 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 62 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -26 fpm was optimal. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,176 m accounted for 37% of the available runway. Following a quick taxi to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm, the aircraft concluded its flight, having covered a total distance of 233 nm and consumed 240 kg of fuel in the process, which took approximately 41 minutes.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 03L at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport with a satisfactory threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing phase. The aircraft's approach speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 80 kt, coming in at 75 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
As the Vision Jet made contact with the runway, it did so at a speed of 62 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -26 fpm was perfect, indicating a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline, which may require some adjustment in the approach and landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a gentle tailwind of 8 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,176 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance of the Vision Jet scored 96.5%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
