MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 18 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 37 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 37 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 37 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,325 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,697 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 15 at VQPR Paro International Airport in Bhutan. The takeoff distance was 3,265 feet, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 159°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southeast of the airport and climbing from 8,272 feet above sea level to 29,303 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,031 feet in 19 minutes and covering 62 nautical miles.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 9 miles northwest of Kokrajhar in Assam, India, and lasting 66 minutes, covering 306 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 17 miles northeast of Dum Duma in Assam, India, and descending from 29,397 feet above sea level to 2,458 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,939 feet in 8 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles west of Tezu in the State of Arunachal Pradesh, India, and lasting 6 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 10 miles southwest of Tezu and climbing from 2,180 feet above sea level to 4,563 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,383 feet in 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 4 miles southwest of Tezu and descending from 4,428 feet above sea level to 2,160 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,267 feet in 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile west of VETJ Tezu Tezu in the State of Arunachal Pradesh, India, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at VE48 Teju New was made from the northeast, heading 221.0° at 2 nautical miles and 716 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which has a length of 5,325 feet. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 89 knots.
The touchdown point was 274 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 71 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -159 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 96°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 175°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,162 feet, which is 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 414 nautical miles, and the flight took 118 minutes, using 726 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at VE48 Teju New, but with some areas for improvement. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 22 from the north east, heading 221.0° at 2 nautical miles and 716 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was completed on a runway with a length of 5,325 feet.
However, there were some discrepancies during the landing. The threshold height at 68 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly too high during its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 89 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been pushing the aircraft too hard during the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown point was 274 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 71 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was good at -159 feet per minute, which suggests that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position during the approach. The local weather conditions were hot, with a temperature of 96°F, and a light wind of 3 knots from 175°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, which is relatively minimal.
The total landing distance was 3,162 feet, which is 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's roll-out effectively after touchdown.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at VE48 Teju New was successful, but there are some areas for improvement. The pilot should focus on reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and improving the accuracy of the touchdown point. With some practice and refinement, the pilot should be able to achieve a more precise and controlled landing.
