MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 21 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: 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 7,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 902 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 3.63 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking to the runway at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 2,758 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 93 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 75°F temperature and a wind of 14 knots at 259 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 9,506 feet above sea level to 23,453 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,948 feet in 8 minutes and covering 24 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 10 miles south of 39CO Flying M Ranch Airport Montrose. This phase of the flight lasted 2 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 5 miles east of 39CO Flying M Ranch Airport Montrose, and descended from 23,915 feet above sea level to 14,553 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,362 feet in 9 minutes and covering 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise, starting 10 miles southwest of CO03 Aspen Gliderport Aspen, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 6 miles northeast of Basalt, with the aircraft descending from 14,277 feet above sea level to 10,835 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,443 feet in 5 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles south of CO47 Goldys Field Gypsum, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 4 miles northeast of Basalt, with the aircraft climbing from 10,710 feet above sea level to 9,301 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,409 feet in 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) was from the north, heading 159.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,573 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 857 feet above ground level, and then again at 6,528 feet above ground level. Eventually, the aircraft landed on runway 15, which had a length of 7,006 feet. The threshold height was excessively over target, while the threshold speed was excessively high at 100 knots.
The touchdown point was 559 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 99 knots, which was excessively fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,360 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 50 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 82°F temperature and a wind of 11 knots at 352 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 138 nautical miles, taking 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 434 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft has landed at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) with a score of 55.8%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, heading 159.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,573 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 559 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 99 knots was also excessively high, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,360 feet per minute (fpm). Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 50 feet from the centerline, suggesting a loss of control during the landing phase.
The threshold height at 130 feet agl was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 97 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been too aggressive during the approach, failing to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The second landing attempt also resulted in an excessively high threshold speed of 100 knots and a height of 108 feet agl, further indicating a lack of control during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from 352°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the difficulties experienced during the landing phase. However, the pilot's failure to maintain control and adhere to standard landing procedures is the primary factor in the subpar landing performance.
