MY FS FLIGHTS
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 3.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 26 ft.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 26 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 708 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through the normal flare band.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: gear still up, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,291 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,958 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 Hamad International Airport, OTHH, where the Vision Jet took 6 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 34R, with a takeoff distance of 2,397 feet, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 102°F temperature and a 10-knot wind blowing at 250°. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the headwind was zero knots. The enroute climb started overhead Hamad International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,032 feet above sea level to 26,136 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,104 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 21 miles northwest of Das Island Airport, OMAS, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles southeast of Dubai Airport, OMDD, and took 20 minutes to descend from 25,581 feet above sea level to 1,435 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,145 feet, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Fujairah International Airport, OMFJ, was made from the east, heading 292.0°, at 4 nautical miles and 1,343 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 12,291 feet, and the threshold height was good. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 106 knots. The touchdown point was 2,757 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 86 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -89 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 756 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 95°F temperature and a 7-knot wind blowing at 60°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 272 nautical miles, taking 82 minutes, and the aircraft used 556 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft has successfully landed at OMFJ Fujairah International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 292.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,343 feet above ground level. The runway in question, runway 29, has a length of 12,291 feet, providing ample space for the aircraft to land safely.
However, the threshold speed of the aircraft was excessively high at 106 knots, which is a concern as it may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially led to a longer landing roll. The touchdown point was 2,757 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 86 knots was also too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown.
On a positive note, the touchdown rate of the aircraft was excellent at -89 feet per minute, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively. Additionally, the local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 95°F and winds of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's excessive drift off the centerline.
The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 756 feet from the centerline, which is a significant deviation and may have been caused by the combination of the crosswind and tailwind components. Overall, while the Vision Jet aircraft was able to land safely, the landing was not without its issues, and the pilot may need to work on improving their landing technique to achieve a more precise touchdown.
