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 49 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 5.9° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
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 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,793 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,111 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at KLAN Capital City Airport, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 10R, with a takeoff distance of 2,412 feet, which was 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 74°F and winds of 10 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the tailwind was 7 knots. After departing from KLAN Capital City Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of the airport and climbing from 1,857 feet above sea level to 29,636 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,779 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 5 miles southeast of 4MI8 Witham Fld Croswell and lasted 55 minutes, covering a distance of 320 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Harrisville, New York, and descending from 29,680 feet above sea level to 1,906 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,774 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at KBTV Burlington International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 124.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,562 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 7,793 feet. The threshold height was excessively over target at 172 feet above ground level, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 79 knots.
The touchdown point was 618 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 67 knots, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute, which was excellent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 70°F and winds of 7 knots at 190°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,749 feet, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The flight then ended with taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 509 nautical miles, taking 108 minutes, and the aircraft used 740 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at KBTV Burlington International Airport, with a final approach from the northwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,562 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The pilot maintained a heading of 124.0°, which is slightly off from the runway's centerline.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 618 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 67 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height at 172 feet agl was significantly higher than the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 79 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,749 feet was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as the excessive threshold height and the slightly misaligned touchdown position.
