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 1,464 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,464 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 352 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from its parking location to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Upon departure, the aircraft took off from runway 10 at L88 New Cuyama, which is located in California, United States. The takeoff distance was 597 meters, corresponding to 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 89 knots.
During the initial ascent, the aircraft encountered a very slight tailwind, with a wind speed of 1 knot and a direction of 269°. This had a minimal impact on the flight's performance. The enroute climb started over New Cuyama, with the aircraft ascending from 2,504 feet above sea level to 6,220 feet, a vertical gain of 3,716 feet over 3 minutes and a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, it entered a level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place approximately 4 miles northwest of New Cuyama. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated a descent, gradually losing altitude from 6,403 feet above sea level to 1,886 feet, a decrease of 4,517 feet over 5 minutes and a horizontal distance of 20 nautical miles. This descent phase concluded near KLOS Lost Hills Airport in Lost Hills, California.
After leveling off at a higher altitude for a short duration, the aircraft started a second climb phase, this time from 1,883 feet above sea level to 2,780 feet, an increase of 897 feet over 2 minutes and a horizontal distance of 2 nautical miles. This climb was initiated near KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport in San Luis Obispo, California.
The flight then initiated another descent phase, losing altitude from 2,763 feet above sea level to 1,714 feet, a decrease of 1,050 feet over 2 minutes and a horizontal distance of 3 nautical miles. This final descent took place 3 miles northeast of Pismo Beach, California, after which the aircraft entered a right hand pattern entry at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport.
The right hand pattern entry covered a short distance of 1 nautical mile in 35 seconds, before the aircraft initiated a downwind turn. This turn had a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 52.4° to the runway. The pattern downwind leg was short, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in only 9 seconds.
Following the downwind leg, the aircraft initiated a base leg turn, again with an angle of 0° to the runway. This turn covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was also brief, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. Next, the aircraft entered the final turn, which had a distance of less than 1 nautical mile and took approximately 23 seconds to complete.
The final approach was made to runway 29 at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport from the southeast, heading 299.0° and at 1 nautical mile from the threshold, with a height of 508 feet above the ground. The aircraft landed successfully on the runway, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed slightly above the target speed of 77 knots.
The landing performance was good, with a touchdown distance of 350 meters, a touchdown speed of 65 knots, and a touchdown rate of -193 feet per minute, all of which were well within acceptable parameters. Runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 knot at 269°, resulting in 1 knot of head
The Vision Jet, a high-performance aircraft, has successfully landed at San Luis County Regional Airport (KSBP) on runway 29. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, aligning itself with the heading of 299.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 508 feet above ground level (agl).
The crew executed a solid final approach, touching down smoothly on the runway threshold with good alignment. Although the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 76 kt (as 1 kt is equivalent to 1.15 mph at 15 C), it is still within a safe operating range, indicating a well-managed and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 65 kt was within the acceptable limits, signifying a successful absorption of speed upon landing.
The aircraft's performance on touchdown was commendable, with a good touchdown distance of 350 meters and a descent rate of -193 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the crew maintained a precise and controlled approach, ultimately leading to a safe landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, further emphasizing the crew's proficiency in executing a precise approach.
The weather conditions at the airport were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and winds of 1 kt at 269°, resulting in neither a significant crosswind nor headwind impact on the landing. Therefore, the aircraft landed at a very short distance of 518 meters, accounting for just 35% of the runway length.
After touchdown, the crew successfully rolled out the aircraft on the runway, maintaining proper alignment throughout. The overall performance of the aircraft and its crew during this landing was exceptionally good, culminating in a perfect runway rollout alignment.
