Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,532 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 98 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at HI01 Princeville Airport. The Vision Jet aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 731 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 92 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft lifted off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead HI01 Princeville Airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 1,014 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 8,566 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,552 feet in just 4 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of Anahola. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 22 miles northwest of PHDH Kawaihapai Airfield Mokuleia. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 8,567 feet above sea level to 2,648 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,919 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Mokuleia. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Hale'iwa. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 2,070 feet above sea level to 1,077 feet above sea level, a decrease of 993 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at PHDH Kawaihapai Airfield was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 272.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,052 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 62 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 95 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from 260 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 201 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 88 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 32 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 114 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at PHDH Kawaihapai Airfield, achieving a score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 272.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,052 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 1,532 meters and the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 25°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 66 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 62 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 95 meters was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's attempt to compensate for the crosswind. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The total landing distance of 201 meters was only 13% of the runway's length, indicating a short and efficient landing. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at PHDH Kawaihapai Airfield was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and landing.
