MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 117 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 103 kt against a target of 117 kt, running 14 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 117 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 86 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 90 kt against a VREF of 86 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 86 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.6° off, against a 1° limit and speed 49 kt FAST on the reference speed of 86 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,987 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,523 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Vision Jet departed Atlantic City International Airport (KACY) on runway 31, utilizing 2,330 feet of the 9,900-foot runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 100 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 67°F and a wind of 8 knots from 310°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to 29,998 feet, it traversed 72 nautical miles in 23 minutes, reaching a maximum altitude of 29,998 feet. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 3 miles northwest of Delmarvair Airport (6MD8) and lasted 104 minutes, covering 495 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a series of descents and climbs, navigating through various altitudes and airspaces. Notably, the descent from 29,659 feet to 12,232 feet in 11 minutes and covering 55 nautical miles showcased the aircraft's efficient descent capabilities.
The Vision Jet finally began its final approach to runway 26R at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), descending from 6,693 feet to 2,279 feet in 4 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 71 knots, with a touchdown distance of 1,517 feet and a touchdown rate of -91 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 3,417 feet, utilizing 38% of the 8,987-foot runway. Following a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 678 nautical miles and utilizing 1,125 pounds of fuel in 166 minutes.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and control. The aircraft descended from 1,254 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 270.0°. The approach was conducted in a 6-knot headwind and a 4-knot crosswind, with a temperature of 68°F.
As the aircraft crossed the threshold, it maintained a speed of 91 knots, slightly above the target threshold speed. The touchdown was characterized by a good distance of 1,517 feet and a speed of 71 knots, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown rate of -91 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 3,417 feet was 38% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. Overall, the landing was scored 97.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
