Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 93 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 72 kt, 21 kt before the 93 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 93 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout, keeping the wings level with gentle aileron.
What happened: The aircraft rolled out on landing with 2.3° of bank angle.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and hold the wings level through the rollout.
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 72 kt, 21 kt below the 93 kt target, and lifted off at 92 kt 4.9 s later, the nose coming up at 1.7° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 117 kt target, at 120 kt on average.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 963 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,814 m of runway left; gear up at 111 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,720 fpm on average to 963 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,521 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted left of the centreline, 6.4 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.7 m left, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 21 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
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: speed more than 5 kt below the approach speed of 89 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 5 kt below the approach speed of 89 kt.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 1.3 to 0.8 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 0.2 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3.7° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 500 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3.7° here, which is about 390 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 9× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then 17 m right of it from 0.2 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 45 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Outside the speed band 4 times; furthest −12 kt at 1.4 nm.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The flare held the target profile well. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 6 times on the way down. Touchdown was 343 m past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.
Wind 209° at 12 kt · 11 kt head · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Began the flare high, at 49 ft, 115 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 24 ft, 26 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 343 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 900 fpm at the flare to 40 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.4° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,180 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1.6 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 2.2 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the Vision Jet began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking just 2 minutes to reach the runway. Runway 22R was selected for departure, and the aircraft accelerated down the 536-meter stretch, taking off at a speed of 93 kt. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 30 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nice, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,020 ft to 15,486 ft in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nm. The climb was steady and efficient, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. The enroute level cruise phase followed, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 15,486 ft for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nm. The descent phase began 37 miles west of Galeria, with the aircraft descending from 16,001 ft to 3,046 ft in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nm.
The final approach to runway 20 at Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport was executed from the north east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 205.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,121 ft agl. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 69 kt and a touchdown rate of -63 fpm. The total landing distance was 825 m, which was just 38 % of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft came to a stop in a short distance. The total flight distance was 137 nm, and the aircraft used 136 kg of fuel during the journey.
