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
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,206 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,228 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Vision Jet's flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 15 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, departing from Omaha's Eppley Airfield (KOMA), took off from runway 32L with a takeoff distance of 2,103 feet, accounting for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the flight proceeded, the aircraft climbed out of Omaha, ascending from 2,000 feet above sea level to 27,478 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,478 feet, within 19 minutes and covering 57 nautical miles. The climb took place overhead Omaha.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, where it remained steady and level for 54 minutes, covering an extensive 265 nautical miles. The cruise started 8 miles east of Audubon, Iowa.
Subsequently, the aircraft entered an enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Coloma Municipal Airport (9WN9) in Coloma, Wisconsin. The descent from 27,119 feet above sea level to 1,964 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,155 feet, took 19 minutes and covered 67 nautical miles.
The final approach was made to runway 36 at Austin Straubel International Airport (KGRB), where the aircraft began descending from an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level to touch down on the runway.
The landing on runway 36 at KGRB was successful, with a threshold speed of 72 knots proving satisfactory. The touchdown distance was also good, covering 1,224 feet, while the touchdown speed of 61 knots and rate of -23 feet per minute were deemed ideal. The runway touchdown alignment was extremely accurate.
The Vision Jet continued to taxi to the parking area, a short process that took 5 minutes and less than 1 nautical mile. In total, the flight covered 399 nautical miles, taking 109 minutes, and the aircraft used approximately 778 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft Vision Jet successfully executed a landing on runway 36 at KGRB Austin Straubel International Airport. The approach from the south, heading 360.0°, was initiated at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). This demonstrated the pilot's ability to maintain situational awareness and execute a precise approach maneuver.
The landing was characterized by a satisfactory threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly positioned in relation to the runway. Additionally, the threshold speed of 72 kt was within acceptable limits, signifying that the pilot successfully coordinated the aircraft's descent and rotation to maintain the optimal approach speed. The resulting touchdown distance of 1,224 ft was also within expected parameters, allowing the pilot to control the aircraft's speed and maintain a stable approach to the runway.
During the final stages of the landing, the touch-down occurred at a speed of 61 kt, which was well within the acceptable range. Furthermore, the touch-down rate of -23 fpm was perfectly executed, indicating a smooth, controlled descent of the aircraft onto the runway. Moreover, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, highlighting the pilot's precision in maintaining the aircraft's trajectory towards the runway.
Considering the prevailing weather conditions, the local temperature of 61 °F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 350°, the pilot successfully accounted for crosswind components (1 kt) and headwind (4 kt). The overall landing distance of 4,118 ft was 50% of the available runway length, which provided the pilot with ample space to arrest the aircraft's momentum and maintain control during the rollout.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also reported to be very good, indicating a successful execution of the landing procedure. The Vision Jet demonstrated an impressive landing performance, earning a score of 97.7%, a testament to the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a precise and controlled touchdown.
