Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 3.2°.
What happened: The wings held 3.2° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 7.7° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
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 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,038 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,505 ft touchdown sits inside 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 LEVX Vigo Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 19, with the aircraft taking off after covering 1,804 feet, which was 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 62°F temperature and 8-knot winds at 160°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead LEVX Vigo Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,900 feet above sea level to 10,984 feet, an increase of 9,084 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 2 miles east of Porrino, lasting 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 11,467 feet to 24,290 feet, an increase of 12,823 feet in 10 minutes, covering 36 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead LEXI Xinzo de Limia Airport, lasting 29 minutes and covering 149 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent 1 mile north east of Papatrigo, descending from 24,533 feet to 2,314 feet, a decrease of 22,219 feet in 17 minutes, covering 61 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 1.0° at 1 nautical mile and 355 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at 1,503 feet, slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline. The touchdown speed was 64 knots, and the touchdown rate was -195 feet per minute, both of which were good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 63°F temperature and 2-knot winds at 17°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,106 feet, which was 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 256 nautical miles, taking 70 minutes, and the aircraft used 518 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 36L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing procedure. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at 1 nm and 355 ft above ground level (agl), indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 64 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,503 ft was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The touchdown rate of -195 fpm was good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
However, there were a few minor deviations from the ideal landing procedure. The threshold height at 74 ft agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than desired at the moment of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly too aggressive in their approach.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 18 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a minor miscalculation by the pilot. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and smoothly transition from landing to taxiing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63 °F and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 17°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, and the headwind was 2 kt, which may have helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.
Overall, the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing procedure, with only minor deviations from the ideal. The pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft and smoothly transition from landing to taxiing was evident, and the landing was ultimately successful.
