Slow down before tight turns
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,856 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 759 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 EDDN Nuremberg Airport, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 2,119 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Nuremberg Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 62°F temperature and a 10-knot wind at 170°. The crosswind was 10 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,068 feet above sea level to 23,926 feet, an increase of 21,858 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles southeast of Burgpreppach, lasting 39 minutes and covering 159 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent overhead Heiligenhaus, Germany, descending from 23,230 feet to 3,277 feet, a decrease of 19,952 feet in 16 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Dortmund, lasting 5 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
The descent from 2,293 feet to 1,799 feet, a decrease of 494 feet in 2 minutes, covered 2 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Castrop-Rauxel, lasting 8 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its climb from 2,234 feet to 3,549 feet, an increase of 1,315 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final descent started 2 miles north of Heiligenhaus, descending from 3,505 feet to 1,235 feet, a decrease of 2,270 feet in 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport from the northeast, heading 244.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,101 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 750 feet, a touchdown speed of 66 knots, and a smooth touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 59°F temperature and a 17-knot wind at 229°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,987 feet, accounting for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 254 nautical miles, taking 102 minutes, and the aircraft used 746 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 244.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,101 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon landing on runway 23L, the aircraft demonstrated excellent performance. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 70 knots was also well within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and control. The touchdown distance of 750 feet was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing.
The touchdown speed of 66 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable range. This suggests that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down smoothly and precisely, resulting in a smooth touchdown. The touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the runway touchdown alignment, which was perfect. This suggests that the pilot had maintained precise control and alignment throughout the approach and landing, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 17 knots at 229°, also played a significant role in the success of this landing. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, and the headwind was 17 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,987 feet was 25% of the runway length, which is an excellent result. This suggests that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and precisely, resulting in a short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing and rollout.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and capabilities. The Vision Jet's ability to handle a variety of weather conditions and landing scenarios makes it an excellent choice for pilots and passengers alike.
