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
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,494 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, the Vision Jet began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 12 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 28, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 101 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,756 feet accounted for only 21% of the available runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient performance.
As the Vision Jet climbed to an altitude of 30,002 feet, it covered a distance of 85 nautical miles in 24 minutes, achieving an impressive climb rate. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 69 minutes and spanned 370 nautical miles, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 30,002 feet. The descent phase that commenced 3 miles southwest of SJPQ Fazenda Buriti Airport saw the aircraft descend from 30,008 feet to 7,197 feet in 15 minutes, covering 77 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11L at Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport was executed from the west, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 70 knots and a touchdown distance of 467 feet.
The landing was deemed satisfactory, with a runway touchdown position that was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,991 feet accounted for 19% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the Vision Jet taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 6 minutes. The total flight distance of 570 nautical miles was achieved in 135 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 852 pounds of fuel.
The final approach to runway 11L at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 86.0° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 69 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.
The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 70 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 467 ft was good, demonstrating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was heavy at -682 fpm, indicating a steeper-than-desired descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor control issue.
The total landing distance of 1,991 ft was 19% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.4%. The minor deviations in threshold speed and touchdown rate were offset by the good touchdown distance and rollout alignment, resulting in a high overall score.
