Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 18 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 87 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 78 ft agl, 28 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 94 kt, 7 kt over the 87 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 1,682 ft beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 87 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,498 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,182 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from SBEG Eduardo Gomes International Airport in Manaus, Brazil, began with a taxiing phase that lasted 8 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. The Vision Jet then rolled onto runway 11, where it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 102 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,853 feet accounted for 32% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 79°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it traversed a series of enroute phases. The initial climb phase, which began overhead SBEG, saw the aircraft ascend from 985 feet above sea level to 17,008 feet, a vertical increase of 16,024 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 40 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 5 minutes and covered 26 nautical miles. A second climb phase, initiated 17 miles east of SBRI Presidente Figueiredo Airport, resulted in a further increase of 11,988 feet to 28,998 feet in 13 minutes and 49 nautical miles. The longest level cruise phase, which began 29 miles southeast of SJVP Vila Pitinga Airport, lasted 97 minutes and covered 486 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, which began 9 miles east of SOGN Dorlin Airstrip, and descended from 28,522 feet to 1,661 feet in 22 minutes and 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at SOCA Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport was executed from the southwest, with a heading of 65.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,618 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 1,806 feet beyond the touchdown zone and a touchdown speed of 74 knots. The total landing distance of 4,309 feet accounted for 41% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 696 nautical miles was achieved in 159 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1,076 pounds.
The final approach to runway 08 at SOCA Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport from the south west, heading 65.0° at 4 nm and 1,618 ft above ground level (agl), presented a challenging scenario for the Vision Jet. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 78 ft agl, well above the target, and a threshold speed of 94 kt, significantly above the target. This resulted in a touchdown point 1,806 ft beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-shoot.
Despite the initial over-shoot, the touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown speed of 74 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -125 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 75 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 260°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 4,309 ft, accounting for 41% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing performance of the Vision Jet scored 82.1%, reflecting a satisfactory outcome despite some minor deviations from the target.
