Improve the rollout
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 6,953 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,953 ft of the 8,045 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 829 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 SCCI President Carlos Ibañez del Campo International Airport in Punta Arenas, Chile. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 1,961 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,159 feet above sea level to 24,999 feet, an increase of 23,840 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 25 miles southeast of SCDW Almirante Schroeders Airport on Isla Dawson, Chile, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 25,013 feet above sea level to 16,077 feet, a decrease of 8,936 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles southwest of Ushuaia, Argentina, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent from 16,077 feet above sea level to 4,830 feet, a decrease of 11,247 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more 7 miles north of SCGZ Guardiamarina Zañartu Airport in Puerto Williams, Chile, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its climb from 4,609 feet above sea level to 5,328 feet, an increase of 719 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 10 miles northwest of SCGZ Guardiamarina Zañartu Airport in Puerto Williams, Chile, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 5,437 feet above sea level to 2,053 feet, a decrease of 3,384 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at SAWH Malvinas Argentinas Airport in Ushuaia, Argentina, was made from the east, with a heading of 267.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,955 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 827 feet, a touchdown speed of 63 knots, and a smooth touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 250°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 6,603 feet, which accounted for 82% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 222 nautical miles, and the flight used 446 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at SAWH Malvinas Argentinas Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,955 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 75 knots, registering at 63 knots. This indicates a controlled and gentle touchdown, which is essential for a smooth landing. The touchdown distance of 827 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
The landing rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled rate of descent, which is critical for a safe and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 13 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing's stability.
The total landing distance of 6,603 feet was 82% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and successfully aligned it with the runway centerline.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at SAWH Malvinas Argentinas Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
