MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.2 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 82 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 107 kt against a target of 82 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 82 kt at 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 1,837 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,837 m of the 3,292 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,253 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UGGG Lochini took 22 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Vision Jet then began its departure roll on runway 31L, utilizing 62% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,788 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 98 knots, with a local temperature of 16°C and a wind of 11 knots at 289°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from UGGG Lochini, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, commencing overhead UGTB Tbilisi International Airport. The climb from 2,517 feet above sea level to 16,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,492 feet, was achieved in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 9 minutes and covering 47 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent phase. The descent from 16,006 feet above sea level to 2,359 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,647 feet, was completed in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The Vision Jet then commenced its final approach to runway 30 at UBBG Ganja International Airport, arriving from the southeast at a heading of 308.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 107 knots, which was excessively high, but the touchdown speed of 68 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance was 1,761 meters, utilizing 53% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in under 1 minute. The total flight distance was 125 nautical miles, taking 40 minutes, and the aircraft used 129 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 30 at UBBG Ganja International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 107 kt, indicating a potential need for adjustment in the approach configuration. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 68 kt, which was considered good.
The touchdown point was located 841 m beyond the touchdown zone, resulting in a total landing distance of 1,761 m, which equated to 53% of the runway length. The touchdown rate of -95 fpm was excellent, showcasing the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a headwind of 10 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.8 m. Despite this minor deviation, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 83.2%. The approach quality was good, with a steady descent and a controlled touchdown. However, the high threshold speed and slight misalignment during rollout were notable areas for improvement.
