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 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,138 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 771 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at KGTF Great Falls International Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 03, with a takeoff distance of 2,684 feet, which was 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KGTF, it started its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 25,455 feet above sea level. This climb began overhead the airport and covered a distance of 50 nautical miles, taking 16 minutes. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, starting 10 miles southwest of S64 Stanford, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering 226 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 6 miles southeast of Buffalo, Wyoming, and took 14 minutes to descend from 25,636 feet to 6,413 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,223 feet. This descent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31 at KBYG Johnson County Airport, coming in from the southeast at a heading of 315.0 degrees, 2 nautical miles from the runway and 1,395 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 66 knots and a touchdown rate of -30 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 27 feet. The total landing distance was 1,331 feet, which was 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 26 feet.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 288 nautical miles, taking 88 minutes, and the aircraft used 630 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at KBYG Johnson County Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,395 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 309°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 6,138 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 76 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 766 feet. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -30 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centreline. Despite these minor deviations, the total landing distance of 1,331 feet was only 22% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The local weather conditions, including a headwind of 11 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots, did not significantly impact the landing performance. Overall, the Vision Jet pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and precision, achieving a good score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance.
