Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 108 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 105 fpm.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,700 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 592 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight took off from runway 06 at the SUMU Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport in a Vision Jet aircraft. The takeoff was smooth, with a liftoff speed of 93 kt and a takeoff distance of 233 m, which represents only 9% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were moderate, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 18 °, producing a slight headwind of 4 kt.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its ascent from a starting altitude of 499 ft above sea level, reaching 323 ft and increasing its altitude by 176 ft in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nm. The climb rate was steady, with no major deviations from the intended course.
After reaching a suitable altitude, the pilot initiated a final approach to runway 06 from the southwest, aligning the aircraft with a heading of 53.0 ° and at an altitude of 244 ft above ground level. The final approach was controlled and precise, setting the aircraft up for a smooth landing.
The touchdown on runway 06 was slightly delayed due to a threshold speed that was too high at 84 kt, but the aircraft eventually touched down at a speed of 60 kt, which was deemed good. The touchdown point was located 148 m beyond the intended touchdown zone, but the aircraft's touchdown rate was extremely impressive, with a negative acceleration of -86 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 m from the centerline.
The total landing distance covered a distance of 754 m, which accounts for 28% of the runway length. This was a relatively short landing distance, considering the runway's length of 2,700 m. The runway rollout alignment was satisfactory, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability during the rollout phase. At the end of the flight, the aircraft consumed a total of 8 kg of fuel and covered a distance of 3 nm, completing the journey in 3 minutes.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at the SUMU Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport, with a final approach to runway 06 coming from the southwest. The aircraft was positioned at a heading of 53.0°, 1 nautical mile away, and 244 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height during the approach.
However, there was a slight issue with the aircraft's threshold speed, which was reported to be 84 knots. This is higher than the optimum threshold speed typically aimed for during a smooth touchdown. Nonetheless, the actual touchdown speed of 60 knots was within an acceptable range.
The Vision Jet landed 148 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which falls within the runway. The rate of descent during touchdown was impressive, clocking in at -86 feet per minute (fpm), indicating an excellent control of descent.
Upon closer inspection, it was noted that the aircraft touched down slightly misaligned with the runway centerline by 5.3 meters. This discrepancy is likely due to minor variations in wind or control inputs during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions during the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 16°C and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, blowing at 14°. These conditions are not excessively challenging for most aircraft, and the Vision Jet handled them well.
The total landing distance came in at 754 meters, which is roughly 28% of the runway's length of 2,700 meters. Despite the initial offset, the aircraft successfully rolled out along the runway, with excellent alignment.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing was successful, albeit with a few minor discrepancies. The aircraft's control and handling capabilities, as well as its responsiveness to pilot inputs, were on full display during this procedure. The results suggest that further practice and refinement will help the pilot refine the approach and touchdown technique to achieve an even smoother and more precise landing.
