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°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

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 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,745 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 639 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 area to the runway at Portland International Airport (KPDX), where the aircraft took off from runway 28L. It accelerated to liftoff speed of 100 knots in 2,392 feet of runway, covering 22% of the total runway length. Local weather conditions at takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 71°F, with a gentle tailwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots.
Once airborne, the aircraft initiated a climb to reach 26,966 feet above sea level. The climb started 1 mile east of Bridgeton, Oregon, and covered 35 miles in 19 minutes, achieving an ascent of 25,931 feet. The enroute level cruise followed, commencing 6 miles south of Mount Hood Village and lasting 9 minutes, with the aircraft flying at a consistent altitude for 44 miles.
The flight then underwent a climb of 3,705 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 miles to reach 31,002 feet asl, and entered another level cruise. This cruise lasted 25 minutes and covered a distance of 127 miles, as the aircraft flew east of Shaniko Cattle Airport.
After completing the level cruise, the enroute descent started 8 miles east of Lockhart Airport, from 30,935 feet asl to 3,740 feet asl, a decrease of 27,196 feet in 20 minutes and covering 82 miles. The final approach to runway 10R at Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (KBOI) followed, with the aircraft descending to 911 feet above ground level as it entered a 4-nautical-mile segment before landing.
The landing took place on runway 10R, which was 9,745 feet long. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 72 knots, just 15% of the runway length, and used a total touchdown distance of 636 feet. The touchdown speed was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was fair and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Taxiing to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered only a short distance, concluding the flight. A total of 301 nautical miles were flown, taking 87 minutes, and consuming 625 pounds of fuel throughout the flight.
Landing Report: Vision Jet
On a recent occasion, a Vision Jet aircraft successfully completed a landing at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field. The final approach to runway 10R was conducted from a position 4 nautical miles west, with the aircraft heading 117.0 ° at an altitude of 911 feet above ground level.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed smoothly on the designated runway. The threshold height was considered good, and the threshold speed was above the target value, registering at 79 knots. The distance it took for the Vision Jet to touch down on the runway was 636 feet, which was deemed satisfactory.
However, it was noted that the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly faster than desired. Nevertheless, the rate of descent at -287 feet per minute was deemed fairly acceptable. The positioning of the aircraft at touchdown was spot on, with perfect alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance was calculated to be 1,425 feet, accounting for only 15% of the available runway length of 9,745 feet. Consequently, the post touchdown roll-out was also perfectly aligned with the runway.
Weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70 °F. The Vision Jet's performance in this landing event demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to safe aviation practices. The landing was largely deemed successful, with some minor areas of improvement suggested in the touchdown speed and rate of descent.
