Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 6,203 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,525 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at LFSH Haguenau Airfield, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 21, with a takeoff distance of 1,624 feet, which was 72% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 33°F temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 76°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Gries, France, and the aircraft climbed from 1,530 feet above sea level to 16,257 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,726 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Freudenstadt, Germany, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 16,390 feet above sea level to 15,763 feet above sea level, a decrease of 627 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile northeast of Eichenberg, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles north of Holzgau, Austria, and the aircraft descended from 15,726 feet above sea level to 14,943 feet above sea level, a decrease of 783 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 3 miles southeast of Elmen, Austria, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 14,696 feet above sea level to 13,339 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,357 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Ranggen, Austria, and the aircraft climbed from 13,607 feet above sea level to 15,055 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,449 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile west of Innsbruck, Austria, and the aircraft descended from 14,888 feet above sea level to 3,502 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,386 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was from the east, with a heading of 253.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,591 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,517 feet, which was 29% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 69 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°F temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,787 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 184 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. The aircraft used 650 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LOWI Innsbruck Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 253.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,591 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 12°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 290°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 6,203 feet. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touchdown. The threshold speed of 92 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing phase.
The touchdown distance of 1,517 feet was good, and the touchdown speed of 69 knots was also within the acceptable range. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at -48 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to smoothly and gradually bring the aircraft to a stop, minimizing the risk of damage or injury.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 21 feet off-center. This minor misalignment may be attributed to the pilot's decision to adjust the aircraft's trajectory to compensate for the crosswind, which was 2 knots. The headwind of 3 knots also played a role in the landing, but it did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,787 feet was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment. The high score of 97.8% reflects the pilot's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and execute a precise and controlled landing.
