Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 49 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Shallow the descent on final to re-intercept the glideslope and cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The aircraft was off the glideslope during the approach, tracking low against the required path.
Watch for: Watch the glideslope indicator and threshold height, targeting 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival 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.
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,631 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 6.0° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.1° off, against a 1° limit and wings 32° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,446 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 952 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport, SMJP, began with a taxiing phase that lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Vision Jet then proceeded to runway 11, where it initiated the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 98 knots, utilizing 2,467 feet of the 11,000-foot runway, which represented 22% of its length.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude of 25,848 feet, it traversed a distance of 72 nautical miles in 20 minutes. The climb phase commenced 1 mile east of the departure airport and concluded 11 miles northeast of Totness, Suriname. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 18 minutes and covered a distance of 99 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 14 miles west of Rosignol, Guyana, and concluded at an altitude of 1,969 feet. This phase of the flight covered a distance of 59 nautical miles and lasted 12 minutes.
The final approach to runway 24 at Cheddi Jagan International Airport, SYCJ, was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 199.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,827 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 77 knots, which was slightly below the target value. The touchdown distance of 932 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 68 knots and rate of -197 feet per minute were also satisfactory. The aircraft touched down 26 feet off the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,979 feet represented 27% of the 7,446-foot runway. Following the landing, the Vision Jet taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 5 minutes. The total flight distance was 235 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 432 pounds of fuel during the 60-minute flight.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 24 at SYCJ Cheddi Jagan International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 77 kt. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 932 ft was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 68 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate of -197 fpm was well within the desired range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
As the aircraft rolled out, it became apparent that the runway touchdown position was slightly off-centre, deviating by 26 ft from the centreline. However, the rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the runway. The total landing distance of 1,979 ft was 27% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a landing of this nature.
The overall performance of the Vision Jet during this landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.8%. The approach quality was good, with a heading of 199.0° at 2 nm and 1,827 ft agl. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind of 6 kt at 60°, were also favorable for the landing.
