Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,599 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at La Baule-Escoublac Airport, LFRE, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 11, with a takeoff distance of 490 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 75°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of Pornichet, Pays de la Loire, France, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,064 feet above sea level to 9,810 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,746 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northwest of La Chapelle-des-Marais, Pays de la Loire, France. This phase lasted for 28 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Biville, Normandie, France, where it descended from 9,762 feet above sea level to 6,810 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,953 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 25 miles north of Omonville-la-Rogue, Normandie, France, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed, starting 3 miles southwest of Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England, where the aircraft descended from 6,802 feet above sea level to 1,708 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,094 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The final level cruise phase took place 2 miles southeast of Micheldever, Hampshire, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 20 at Southampton Airport, EGHI, from the north, heading 199.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 20, which had a length of 1,599 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 77 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 321 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 287°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 986 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 244 nautical miles, which was covered in 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 349 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at EGHI Southampton Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 199.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was precise, setting up for a smooth landing on runway 20, which has a length of 1,599 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 77 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 321 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was also good. The most impressive aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -98 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with minimal deceleration, showcasing the pilot's exceptional skills.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 287°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and there was no headwind. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 986 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the Vision Jet's capabilities, resulting in a near-perfect score of 98.1%.
