Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 20 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

The 1,205 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Vision Jet taxiing from the parking to the runway took a total of 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the aircraft made a departure roll using runway 11 at PAKT Ketchikan International Airport. The takeoff distance covered 24% of the entire runway and was 1,829 feet. The liftoff speed was 97 knots, which is a suitable speed for the Vision Jet.
The local weather conditions at the departure point were moderate, with a temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit. A gentle breeze of 15 knots was blowing from a direction of 190 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 8 knots and a crosswind component of 12 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, leaving the runway behind and ascending to an altitude of 30,583 feet. During the climb, it traversed a distance of 64 nautical miles, achieving an altitude increase of 29,652 feet in 22 minutes.
Once at cruising altitude, the aircraft transitioned to level cruise flight, which lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 261 nautical miles. This segment of the flight allowed the aircraft to efficiently maintain a steady altitude, ensuring maximum fuel economy and optimal performance.
The enroute descent segment began 18 miles west of Chetwynd (British Columbia, Canada) and ended with a touchdown on runway 25 at CYDQ Dawson Creek Airport. The aircraft descended from 31,370 feet to 3,640 feet in a mere 21 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
As the Vision Jet approached runway 25 at CYDQ Dawson Creek Airport, it aligned with the runway from the east, heading in a direction of 266 degrees at 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft's approach speed and touchdown speed were good, with a touchdown speed of 69 knots and a smooth landing rate of -116 feet per minute.
Upon landing, the aircraft's total landing distance covered 48% of the runway length, which was 2,383 feet. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also flawless.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking took a mere 1 minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance covered was 403 nautical miles, with the entire flight lasting 1 hour and 6 minutes. A total of 744 pounds of fuel were consumed during the flight. Overall, the Vision Jet performed exceptionally well throughout the flight.
A Vision Jet has successfully landed at CYDQ Dawson Creek Airport. The aircraft touched down on runway 25 without major issues, and all key performance metrics were within acceptable ranges. The approach to the runway was initiated from the east with a heading of 266.0° and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway at an altitude of 1,483 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot maintained good control throughout the final approach, ensuring that the aircraft's speed and altitude were well within the target ranges. As the Vision Jet descended towards the runway, its threshold height at 56 ft agl was slightly above the target, but this minor deviation did not impact the landing. The aircraft's threshold speed at 81 kt was notably higher than the target, but this difference is not uncommon due to variables such as aircraft loading, air density, and other external factors.
Upon touchdown, the Vision Jet showed excellent performance, achieving a good touchdown distance of 1,202 ft. The touchdown speed of 69 kt was also satisfactory, and the associated runway touchdown rate of -116 fpm indicates a smooth descent. Most notably, the runway touchdown alignment was extremely good, suggesting that the pilot's control and navigation systems were accurate and precise.
Local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 80°F and wind at 6 kt from a direction of 189°. Since the wind direction was largely perpendicular to the runway, it resulted in a relatively strong headwind of 6 kt and a weaker crosswind of only 1 kt. The aircraft's performance was unaffected by the headwind, demonstrating the robustness and stability of the Vision Jet's controls.
The final assessment of the landing reveals that all performance metrics fell within acceptable ranges. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 2,383 ft accounted for approximately 48% of the runway, which is reasonable given local weather conditions and aircraft characteristics. Runway rollout alignment following the landing was perfect, a testament to the pilot's skills and the capabilities of the Vision Jet. Overall, the successful landing of the Vision Jet was a result of skilled piloting and precise control, combined with the aircraft's inherent stability and maneuverability.
