Improve the rollout
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.
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 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 228 m 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 31 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York. The takeoff distance was 295 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 92 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots blowing from 340 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead LaGuardia Airport and ascending from 1,017 feet above sea level to 3,887 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,869 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Weehawken, New Jersey, and lasted for 11 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 3,769 feet above sea level to 4,383 feet above sea level, an increase of 614 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The next level cruise phase started overhead North Great River, New York, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 2 miles southeast of Blue Point, New York. The descent from 4,923 feet above sea level to 1,319 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,604 feet in 7 minutes, covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Francis S Gabreski Airport (KFOK) was made from the southwest, heading 42.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 at KFOK was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 89 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 226 meters, but the touchdown speed at 86 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -237 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots blowing from 9 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,029 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 31.3 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 73 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 06 at KFOK Francis S Gabreski Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.5%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 89 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 226 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 86 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach.
The touchdown rate of -237 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 9°.
The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft was able to maintain control and land safely. The total landing distance of 1,029 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 31.3 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a stable and aligned rollout after touchdown, potentially due to the wind conditions or other factors. Despite this, the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely, and the pilot was able to recover from the misalignment.
