The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Sedona Airport (KSEZ), a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 03, with a takeoff distance of 2,657 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of Sedona, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 12,045 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 5,457 feet asl. This climb, which covered 23 nautical miles, took 6 minutes and resulted in an increase of 6,588 feet in altitude. The enroute climb started overhead Sedona, Arizona, and continued until the aircraft reached a point 1 mile south east of the Sunrise Ranch Airport (AZ77) in Williams, Arizona.

From this point, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered 29 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles north east of Valle, Arizona, and saw the aircraft descend from 12,021 feet asl to 7,472 feet asl, a decrease of 4,549 feet in altitude. This descent, which covered 14 nautical miles, took 5 minutes.

The final approach to runway 03 at Grand Canyon National Park Airport (KGCN) was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 41.0 degrees at an altitude of 940 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,377 feet and a touchdown speed of 74 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -4 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind of 11 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The total flight distance was 71 nautical miles, and the flight took 21 minutes to complete, using 192 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 03 at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport in the Vision Jet

Landing Score 98.73 %

Landing Summary

The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport, achieving a score of 98.7%. The aircraft's final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, heading 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 940 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 8,990 feet. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal, coming in at 87 knots. This may have been due to various factors such as air density, aircraft weight, or pilot technique.

The touchdown distance of 1,377 feet was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down and touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have been able to slow down further before touching down. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -4 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration.

The runway touchdown alignment was also reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly high threshold speed.

Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 98.7%. While there were some minor issues with threshold speed and touchdown speed, the aircraft's performance was generally excellent, and the landing was smooth and controlled.
