Slow down before tight turns
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,286 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,381 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 03 at VVTH Dong Tac Airport in Tuy Hoa, Vietnam. The takeoff distance was 2,423 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 94°F and winds of 7 knots at 255°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and there was a 5-knot tailwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of VVTH Dong Tac Airport. The climb took 25 minutes and covered 56 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,024 feet above sea level to 30,255 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,231 feet.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 25 miles northeast of Qui Nhon, Vietnam. This phase lasted for 109 minutes and covered 546 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 50 miles west of AG10 Amphibious Ready Group in the Philippines. The descent took 20 minutes and covered 73 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 30,219 feet above sea level to 1,834 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,385 feet.
The final approach to runway 07 at RPLB Subic Bay International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 58.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,723 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which has a length of 9,286 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 80 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,376 feet, and the touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and winds of 10 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 10 knots, and there was a 0-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 2,941 feet, which is 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 682 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 162 minutes. The aircraft used 1,068 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at RPLB Subic Bay International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,723 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 82°F and a 10-knot wind blowing from 340°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 9,286 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 80 kt, indicating a controlled and stable approach. The touchdown distance of 1,376 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 68 kt was good, suggesting a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach and landing technique.
The local weather conditions, including a 10-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 2,941 feet was 32% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at RPLB Subic Bay International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
