Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,066 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,138 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 SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with a takeoff distance of 3,435 feet, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 59°F and winds of 1 knot at 34°. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport and climbing from 8,865 feet above sea level to 26,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,145 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 16 miles southeast of Santo Domingo de los Colorados, lasting 7 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles northwest of La Mana and descending from 26,009 feet above sea level to 6,149 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,859 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time 3 miles north of Palestina, lasting 14 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Palestina and descending from 5,515 feet above sea level to 1,259 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,256 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at SEGU José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport took place from the northeast, heading 209.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,229 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 21, which had a length of 8,066 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 70 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,130 feet, and the touchdown speed was 65 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 81°F and winds of 4 knots at 220°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,303 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 161 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes, and the aircraft used 343 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet successfully landed on runway 21 at SEGU José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 209.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 65 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 70 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,130 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -128 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in executing a gentle touchdown.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 12 feet off the centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle headwind of 4 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smooth execution of the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,303 feet was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, with the aircraft maintaining a straight course along the runway. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing performance was impressive, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
