Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 7° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 m past the threshold — beyond 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 30 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 08 at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport. The takeoff distance was 464 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 87 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Burbank, California, and the aircraft climbed from 1,530 feet above sea level to 25,036 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,505 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles southwest of 6CA8 Depue Airport Barstow, California, and lasted 11 minutes, covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 25,031 feet above sea level to 13,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,000 feet in 5 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 13 miles northeast of 0O2 Baker, California, and lasted 7 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 13,024 feet above sea level to 5,030 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,994 feet in 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started overhead Enterprise, Nevada, and lasted 5 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 5,019 feet above sea level to 3,352 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,667 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was from the east, heading 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,229 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26L was successful, with the touchdown point being 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 79 knots, which was fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and winds of 3 knots at 222 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The total landing distance was 874 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 219 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 119 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 126 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the expected area. The touchdown speed of 79 knots was higher than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied the brakes too late or not aggressively enough. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -108 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable characteristic for a safe landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 222°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 874 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may indicate that the pilot did not maintain perfect control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment. With some adjustments to the pilot's technique, the Vision Jet aircraft can achieve an even higher score and demonstrate even more precise and controlled landing skills.
