Slow down before tight turns
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,233 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 916 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 to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Once on the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 18 at KAAO Colonel James Jabara Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,956 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 60°F, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind or headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KAAO Colonel James Jabara Airport and Wichita, Kansas. The climb took 9 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,236 feet above sea level to 17,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,772 feet. This climb covered a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 8 miles northwest of SN58 Foster Field El Dorado, Kansas, and lasting 10 minutes, during which it covered 45 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 4 miles northeast of Neosho Rapids, Kansas. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 16,761 feet above sea level to 17,455 feet above sea level, an increase of 693 feet. This climb covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles south of Osage City, Kansas, and lasting 3 minutes, during which it covered 12 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile east of 39K Pomona Lake Airport Lyndon, Kansas. The descent took 9 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 18,041 feet above sea level to 7,004 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,037 feet. This descent covered a distance of 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Basehor, Kansas, and lasting 3 minutes, during which it covered 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting overhead KEDA Edwardsville Airport Edwardsville, Kansas. The descent took 5 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 7,000 feet above sea level to 2,615 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,385 feet. This descent covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles southeast of Leawood, Kansas, and lasting 11 minutes, during which it covered 16 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 19 at KMKC Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport from the north, heading 193.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 909 feet, a touchdown speed of 62 knots, and a touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The total landing distance was 1,436 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 178 nautical miles, and the flight used 575 pounds of
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KMKC Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport, achieving a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 19, which has a length of 6,233 feet.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target at 60 feet agl, and the speed was also slightly above the target at 73 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 909 feet was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,436 feet was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the Vision Jet demonstrating its capabilities as a high-performance aircraft.
