MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 5.3° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 3.3° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 9,623 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,403 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 Indira Gandhi International Airport, taking 12 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 11R, with a takeoff distance of 2,019 feet, which was 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 2 miles south of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,642 feet above sea level to 30,230 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,588 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 53 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 91°F and winds of 5 knots at 110°.
The enroute level cruise began 5 miles northeast of Khair, lasting 71 minutes and covering a distance of 331 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft started its descent 2 miles southwest of Bagaha, descending from 30,457 feet above sea level to 5,877 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,580 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at Tribhuvan International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 22.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,502 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02 was characterized by a touchdown point 992 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at -32 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and winds of 10 knots at 210°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 4,314 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The flight concluded with taxiing to the parking from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 468 nautical miles, taking 130 minutes, and the aircraft used 841 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 22.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,502 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 02, which has a length of 9,623 feet.
However, there were some discrepancies during the landing. The threshold height at 65 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 93 knots, which could have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed. The touchdown point was 992 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 71 knots was a little fast.
On a positive note, the touchdown rate was perfect at -32 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 210°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed.
Overall, the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrated a good landing performance, but with some areas for improvement. The pilots will need to work on maintaining a more accurate approach and touchdown speed to achieve a more precise landing.
