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 6.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,803 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 968 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 02 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,069 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 329°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead El Prat de Llobregat in Catalonia, Spain. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 847 feet above sea level to 29,747 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,900 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of the LEDI Aeròdrom de Cervera in Catalonia, Spain. This phase lasted for 85 minutes and covered a distance of 366 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles north of Lubian in Castilla y Leon, Spain. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 29,286 feet above sea level to 5,018 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,268 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles west of the LELB Regional Emergency Center Heliport Albendea in Galicia, Spain. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 3 miles east of Pontevedra in Galicia, Spain. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,690 feet above sea level to 1,814 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,875 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at LEVX Vigo Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 191.0° at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 963 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 19, which has a length of 7,803 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 79 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 962 feet, and the touchdown speed was 65 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -171 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 3,132 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 502 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 139 minutes. The aircraft used 959 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LEVX Vigo Airport, achieving a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 191.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 963 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 19, which has a length of 7,803 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 79 knots. The touchdown distance of 962 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, demonstrating a gentle and stable landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 12 feet off-centerline. This minor misalignment may be attributed to the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's handling characteristics. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 3,132 feet was 40% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing performance at LEVX Vigo Airport was impressive, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment in executing a safe and controlled landing.
