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 8.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 6,097 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,097 ft of the 15,958 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,695 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 OOSA Salalah Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 2,595 feet, which was 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 79°F and winds of 6 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead OOSA Salalah Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 838 feet above sea level to 31,247 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,409 feet in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Al Hadhaf, Oman. This phase lasted for 72 minutes and covered a distance of 355 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 16 miles southwest of OM0A Ras Sumeira, Ras Sumeira, Saudi Arabia. The descent from 31,324 feet above sea level to 6,381 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,943 feet, took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of OTBH Al Udeid Air Base, Ar Rayyan, Qatar. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 4 miles northwest of Al Wukayr, Qatar. The descent from 6,211 feet above sea level to 3,770 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,441 feet, took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southeast of Musay'id, Qatar. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting 6 miles southeast of Al Wakrah, Qatar. The descent from 3,590 feet above sea level to 1,257 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,333 feet, took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at OTHH Hamad International Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 338.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 34R, which had a length of 15,958 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 92 knots. The touchdown point was 275 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 74 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -93 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 245 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 97°F and winds of 8 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,741 feet, which was 36% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 34R at OTHH Hamad International Airport, scoring an overall grade of 85.4%. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 338.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 275 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was also a bit higher than ideal, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 97°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The runway length of 15,958 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 5,741 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway.
One area for improvement identified in the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centreline. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 245 feet from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrated some areas for improvement, the landing was still considered successful, and the pilot's skills and control were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
