MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 117 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 102 kt against a target of 117 kt, running 15 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 117 kt.
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 228 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 1,999 ft beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
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.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,840 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 85 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,019 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,499 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Miami International Airport, the Vision Jet began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 09, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 100 knots within 805 feet of the runway, which represented 7% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 82°F and a gentle headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from 1,004 feet above sea level to 21,994 feet, a vertical gain of 20,990 feet, over a distance of 49 nautical miles in 15 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 133 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 22,010 feet to 6,981 feet, a decrease of 15,028 feet, over a distance of 53 nautical miles in 12 minutes. The descent phase was punctuated by several short climbs and descents, including a brief climb from 6,983 feet to 7,484 feet, and a final descent from 6,991 feet to 1,936 feet.
The Vision Jet finally began its final approach to runway 18L at Orlando International Airport, descending from 1,812 feet above ground level to touch down on the runway. The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 75 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 1,892 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 4,173 feet, representing 35% of the runway's length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey of 263 nautical miles, which had taken 77 minutes and consumed 545 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 18L at KMCO Orlando International Airport, a 12,046-foot-long asphalt surface, after a final approach from the north. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 180.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,812 feet above ground level. However, the threshold height was excessively over target at 278 feet above ground level, indicating a slightly high approach. The threshold speed of 99 knots was also well above the target, suggesting a slightly aggressive approach.
The Vision Jet touched down at 1,892 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 75 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -150 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline, the rollout alignment was very good. Local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 72°F and a light wind of 5 knots at 80°.
The total landing distance of 4,173 feet was 35% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of the Vision Jet was satisfactory, with a score of 81.0%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the aircraft's touchdown speed and rollout alignment were good, indicating a controlled and stable approach and landing.
