MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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 8.3° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 390 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ganja International Airport, Azerbaijan, took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The Vision Jet then began its departure roll on runway 30, utilizing 1,520 meters, or 46% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 92 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 35 knots from a direction of 300°, resulting in a 35-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from Ganja International Airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 2,052 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 16,001 feet, a vertical gain of 13,949 feet, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. Following a brief enroute level cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude from 15,728 feet to 2,742 feet, a decrease of 12,986 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 43 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31L at Tbilisi International Airport was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 316.0° at an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold.
The Vision Jet landed on runway 31L at Tbilisi International Airport, utilizing a runway length of 2,998 meters, with a threshold height that was deemed satisfactory. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown distance of 392 meters was also considered good. The aircraft's descent rate of -100 feet per minute was smooth, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 49 knots from a direction of 310°, resulting in a 48-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind component. The total flight distance was 87 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 33 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 122 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 31L at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft aligning with the runway heading of 316.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,146 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 89 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 392 m, and the touchdown speed of 62 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -100 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a wind of 49 kt at 310 °, resulted in a significant headwind component of 48 kt, which was effectively managed by the pilot.
The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout. The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 96.0% achieved. The combination of good approach quality, smooth touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a safe and efficient landing on runway 31L at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport.
