Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,321 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,516 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 to the runway at RJOA Hiroshima Airport, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 2,095 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead RJOA Hiroshima Airport. The climb took 20 minutes to reach an altitude of 30,058 feet, an increase of 27,967 feet from the initial altitude of 2,091 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 51 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 7 miles northeast of Tokuyama, Japan. This phase of the flight lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 244 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 10 miles west of Mungyeong, South Korea. The descent took 14 minutes to reduce the altitude from 29,514 feet to 14,560 feet, a decrease of 14,953 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 4 miles north of Anseong, South Korea. This phase of the flight lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 4 miles north of Anseong. The descent took 14 minutes to reduce the altitude from 14,560 feet to 2,497 feet, a decrease of 12,063 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise, which started 9 miles west of Ansan-si, South Korea. This phase of the flight lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33R at RKSI Incheon International Airport, which was located to the southeast. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 33R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,512 feet, which was 15% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 69 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 392 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 128 minutes. The aircraft used 1,015 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at RKSI Incheon International Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 325.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 33R, which has a length of 12,321 feet.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft was found to be above the target height, indicating a slight overshoot. Additionally, the threshold speed was higher than desired, at 87 knots. However, the touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 1,512 feet. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 20 knots from 320°. This resulted in a 2-knot crosswind and a 20-knot headwind. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was not explicitly stated, but the overall performance suggests that it was able to adapt to the wind.
The total landing distance of 1,895 feet was within 15% of the runway length, indicating a relatively smooth and controlled descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's performance during this landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement.
