Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 674 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 674 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 256 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Vision Jet took off from Piacenza San Damiano Air Base, located in LIMS, Italy, on runway 30. The aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering 561 meters in 23% of the runway's length, and lifted off at a speed of 92 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 209 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
Following a smooth takeoff, the Vision Jet began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,474 feet above sea level to 17,272 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was achieved while passing over the town of San Damiano, located near the air base. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 27 minutes as it covered a distance of 115 nautical miles. This cruise phase took the Vision Jet over the town of Borgarello in the Lombardy region of Italy.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 18,287 feet above sea level to 4,057 feet, a decrease of 14,230 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. This descent phase took the Vision Jet over the town of Burgistein in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time for a brief 3-minute cruise phase, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles as it passed over the town of Evilard in the same region.
The final approach to runway 24 at LSZJ Courtelary Airfield was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 244.0 degrees at an altitude of 365 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 83 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 256 meters, which was well within the runway's length of 674 meters. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute was excellent.
The Vision Jet landed on the runway with a slight misalignment of 4.7 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 90 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind. The total landing distance was 423 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway's length. The total flight distance was 180 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 220 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LSZJ Courtelary Airfield, achieving a score of 92.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 244.0° at 2 nautical miles and 365 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 4°C and a gentle wind of 1 kn at 90°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 674 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 83 kn. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 256 meters. The touchdown speed of 72 kn was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -54 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.7 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The total landing distance of 423 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LSZJ Courtelary Airfield was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout.
