MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 482 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 209 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,186 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,794 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking to the runway at SAWC El Calafate - Commander Armando Tola International Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 2,275 feet, which was 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 60°F temperature and winds of 12 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. After departing from SAWC El Calafate - Commander Armando Tola International Airport, the enroute climb started 3 miles west of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,554 feet above sea level to 11,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,454 feet in 7 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 14 miles north of SAWC El Calafate - Commander Armando Tola International Airport and lasted 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. Another enroute climb started 21 miles north of SAWC El Calafate - Commander Armando Tola International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 11,525 feet above sea level to 23,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,484 feet in 9 minutes, covering 36 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 9 miles north east of Tres Lagos and lasted 36 minutes, covering 197 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, the enroute descent started 14 miles south east of SAQO Las Heras Airport, where the aircraft descended from 22,991 feet above sea level to 1,909 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,082 feet in 19 minutes, covering 74 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at SAVC General E. Mosconi Airport was from the west, heading 80.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,766 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 07, which had a length of 9,186 feet. The threshold height at 99 feet above ground level was significantly above target, and the threshold speed was too high at 105 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,225 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 82 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -279 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 70°F temperature and winds of 12 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,828 feet, which was 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 348 nautical miles, taking 84 minutes, and the aircraft used 657 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at SAVC General E. Mosconi Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 80.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,766 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 9,186 feet.
However, there were some discrepancies in the landing performance. The threshold height at 99 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 105 knots, which could have contributed to the high touchdown speed.
The touchdown point was 1,225 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 82 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute was fair. On the positive side, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and winds of 12 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the tailwind was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the high touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 3,828 feet, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively long distance, but the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of approach speed, touchdown speed, and touchdown point.
