Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 m 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 area to the runway at N07 Lincoln Park Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 653 meters, which was 108% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 85 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a 2-knot wind at 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Fairfield, New Jersey, where the aircraft ascended from 1,240 feet above sea level to 29,578 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,338 feet in 20 minutes, covering 66 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead West Norriton, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 30,003 feet above sea level to 17,032 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,972 feet in 7 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started overhead Pleasant Hills, Maryland, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The descent from 16,613 feet above sea level to 12,011 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,602 feet in 2 minutes, covered 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile north-east of KFME Tipton Airport Fort Meade (Odenton), Maryland, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The descent from 11,998 feet above sea level to 3,342 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,656 feet in 5 minutes, covered 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile west of Darnestown, Maryland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The descent from 3,466 feet above sea level to 1,597 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,869 feet in 3 minutes, covered 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started overhead Falls Church, Virginia, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was made from the south, heading 356.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 01, which had a length of 2,190 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 77 knots.
The touchdown point was 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 62 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -108 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 15°C temperature and a 2-knot wind at 269°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 695 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 214 nautical miles, taking 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 243 kilograms of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, achieving a score of 97.8%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 01 from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's approach was well-executed, with a smooth touchdown and a good alignment with the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -108 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 269°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 2 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The headwind was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 695 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency. The aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable range, and the landing was smooth and controlled.
