Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,296 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 834 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Vision Jet began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport, covering 3 nm in 11 minutes. The departure roll from runway 13 was swift, with a takeoff distance of 2,193 ft, which was 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 103 kn. The local weather at the time of takeoff was pleasant, with a temperature of 63 °F and a light 4 kn wind at 40°. There was a slight 4 kn crosswind and no headwind.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,933 ft asl to 11,138 ft asl, covering 8 nm in 5 minutes. The descent began over Warr Acres, bringing the aircraft from 11,187 ft asl to 9,847 ft asl over 11 nm in 2 minutes. The level cruise started near OL12 Northwest Edmond Airport, lasting for 2 minutes over 11 nm.
Another climb took place 2 miles south of 44OK Sky High Airport, raising the altitude from 10,010 ft asl to 18,103 ft asl over 34 nm in 7 minutes. The aircraft then flew for 2 minutes in level cruise over F22 Perry Mun Perry Airport, covering 14 nm. The descent commenced 5 miles west of Ponca City, bringing the aircraft down from 18,099 ft asl to 3,095 ft asl over 52 nm in 11 minutes.
The flight concluded with a smooth landing on runway 01R at KICT Wichita Eisenhower National Airport. The runway, with a length of 7,296 ft, provided ample space for the landing. The aircraft touched down 830 ft from the threshold at a speed of 71 kn, with a vertical speed indicator showing -162 ft/m. Despite a crosswind of 3 kn and a headwind of 9 kn, the landing was successful with a total distance of 1,257 ft, which was 17% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 nm, taking 5 minutes. The total flight distance covered was 142 nm, taking a total of 55 minutes and utilizing 339 lbs of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving a remarkable aircraft landing score of 98.4%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to understand the strengths and areas for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, which indicates precise positioning of the aircraft in relation to the descent path. However, your speed was slightly below target, suggesting the need for adjustments to ensure a smoother transition to the landing phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is impressive to note that you maintained a good threshold height and executed a very good landing flare. This indicates a controlled descent towards the runway and a smooth transition to the touchdown phase.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, and your speed was on target, showcasing your ability to manage the aircraft's descent effectively. Additionally, touching down within the touchdown zone and positioning the aircraft 11 ft from the centerline demonstrates accurate alignment and control during this crucial phase of the landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment within 11 ft of the centerline further emphasizes your precision and control during the landing process.
Overall, your performance during this landing was impressive, with key strengths in glideslope alignment, landing flare, touchdown accuracy, and runway alignment. To further improve, you may consider focusing on maintaining target speed throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
Keep up the excellent work and continue honing your skills to strive for even higher landing scores in the future. Your attention to detail and dedication to improving your technique will undoubtedly lead to continued success in your aviation endeavors. Great job!
