Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,345 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,531 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Cagliari Elmas Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 32, with a takeoff distance of 1,799 feet, which was 20% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 101 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 73°F temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Elmas in Sardegna, Italy, and ascending from 1,017 feet above sea level to 31,628 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,610 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 64 miles east of Villasimius in Sardegna, Italy, and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 195 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southwest of Panarea in Sicilia, Italy, and descending from 31,811 feet above sea level to 3,557 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,254 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time 1 mile northeast of San Floro in Calabria, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile west of Caraffa di Catanzaro in Calabria, Italy, and descending from 3,141 feet above sea level to 1,323 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,818 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Lamezia Terme Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 278.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 28, which had a length of 8,345 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 68 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,526 feet, and the touchdown speed was 67 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 77°F temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 230°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,988 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 370 nautical miles, taking 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 631 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 278.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, ultimately landing on runway 28, which has a length of 8,345 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 68 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 1,526 feet. The touchdown speed of 67 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 27 feet.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,988 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures. The slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position was the only notable deviation from perfection, but it did not significantly impact the overall outcome of the landing.
