Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,500 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,263 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 1,913 feet, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 310°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing from KATL, rising from an altitude of 2,011 feet above sea level to 31,750 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,740 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 3 miles southeast of Mercer Airfield (GA65) in Calhoun, Georgia, and lasted for 31 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 148 nautical miles. The descent phase began 4 miles southeast of Kershaw, South Carolina, and involved a decrease in altitude from 31,165 feet above sea level to 1,702 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,463 feet, in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05R at Raleigh Durham International Airport (KRDU) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 05R, which had a length of 7,500 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 74 knots. The touchdown point was 330 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 66 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F. The total landing distance was 4,677 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centerline. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 327 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes, during which the aircraft used 654 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 05R from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed from a relatively close distance, showcasing the pilot's precision and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 73 kt, registering at 74 kt. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown point was 330 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is still within an acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 66 kt was well within the target range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F. This pleasant weather likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
One area for improvement noted in the report was the runway rollout alignment, which was slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centerline. While this deviation is not significant, it does highlight the importance of maintaining precise control during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The total landing distance of 4,677 feet, which accounts for 62% of the runway length, is also a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance.
