MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 101 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 191 fpm.
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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and 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 9,514 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,372 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Da Nang International Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 17L, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 98 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 100 °F, with a wind speed of 10 kt at 230 °, resulting in a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Da Nang International Airport and continued for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,029 ft above sea level to 24,950 ft, an increase of 23,921 ft. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles, 9 miles north west of Quang Ngai, Vietnam.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Phu Cat Airport, Quy Nhon, Vietnam, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 24,492 ft to 757 ft, a decrease of 23,735 ft. The final approach to runway 03 at Dong Tac Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 31.0 ° at 1 nautical mile and 700 ft above ground level.
The landing on runway 03 at Dong Tac Airport was characterized by a touchdown point that was 845 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 70 kt, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 94 °F, with a wind speed of 11 kt at 129 °, resulting in a crosswind of 11 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance was 3,227 ft, which accounted for 34 % of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 ft from the centreline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 196 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 61 minutes and a fuel consumption of 411 lbs.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at VVTH Dong Tac Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, heading 31.0° at 1 nm and 700 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 845 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive with the landing.
The threshold height at 146 ft agl was excessively over target, suggesting that the pilot may have been too high on the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 91 kt, which could have contributed to the long touchdown distance. The touchdown speed of 70 kt was also a bit fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -128 fpm, which is a good indicator of a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were hot, with a temperature of 94 °F, and a moderate wind of 11 kt at 129°. The crosswind component was 11 kt, while the tailwind component was a relatively minor 2 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,227 ft was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 29 ft from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have had some difficulty with the alignment of the aircraft during the rollout.
Overall, while the Vision Jet aircraft landed safely, there were some issues with the landing that could be improved upon. The pilot may benefit from additional training or practice to improve their approach and landing techniques, particularly in terms of maintaining a more accurate threshold height and speed.
