Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,509 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 Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, taking 12 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 1,601 feet, which was 13% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 59°F and winds of 4 knots at 99°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,893 feet above sea level to 20,630 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,737 feet in 13 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northeast of Josephs Field in Moores Hill, Indiana, and lasted 13 minutes, covering 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 20,632 feet above sea level to 2,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,556 feet in 15 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile south of Robinson Field in Greenwood, Indiana.
The final approach to runway 05R at Indianapolis International Airport was from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05R was successful, with a runway length of 9,991 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 83 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,508 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 71 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -115 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 57°F and winds of 7 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,845 feet, which was 18% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 97 nautical miles, and the flight took 57 minutes. The aircraft used 407 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet successfully completed a landing at KIND Indianapolis International Airport, showcasing its capabilities and handling characteristics. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, aligning itself with the 05R runway at a heading of 44.0°. At a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl), the Vision Jet demonstrated its precision and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 71 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 1,508 feet was well within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a gentle wind of 7 kt from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,845 feet was 18% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short and efficient landing.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was perfect, demonstrating the Vision Jet's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the Vision Jet showcasing its capabilities and handling characteristics in a real-world scenario.
