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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,176 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,631 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 KRWL Rawlins Municipal Airport/Harvey Field, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 04, with a takeoff distance of 67 feet, which was just 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 73°F and winds of 9 knots at 59°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 7,383 feet above sea level to 9,832 feet, an increase of 2,449 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles north of the airport and lasted for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 6 miles northeast of Ethete, Wyoming, where it descended from 9,912 feet to 8,055 feet, a decrease of 1,857 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 9 miles north of Ethete and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The descent continued, starting 8 miles northeast of Ethete, where the aircraft descended from 7,922 feet to 6,789 feet, a decrease of 1,132 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at KRIW Central Wyoming Regional Airport was made from the west, heading 114.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 8,176 feet, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 68 knots.
The touchdown point was 189 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 57 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 73°F and winds of 9 knots at 59°, a crosswind of 7 knots, and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,298 feet, which was 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 122 nautical miles, which was covered in 38 minutes, and the aircraft used 311 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at KRIW Central Wyoming Regional Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 114.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 8,176 feet and the local weather conditions.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 68 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 189 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation, but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 57 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down to a safe speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's approach technique.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 9 knots at 59°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance of 2,298 feet was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KRIW Central Wyoming Regional Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position may require some additional training or practice to improve the pilot's approach technique.
