Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 4.8° with no reversals.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,700 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 418 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 the parking area to the runway, a journey that took 10 minutes and spanned 2 nautical miles. Once at the runway, departure roll started at runway 13, located at the Jorge Newbery Airpark. The takeoff distance covered 18% of the runway and required a speed of 96 kt for liftoff.
Under local conditions of 15 °C temperature and wind speeds of 5 kt at 68 °, the aircraft lifted off from the runway. The winds were relatively mild, with a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb over Retiro in the Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Over the course of 14 minutes, it ascended from 1,038 ft to 21,567 ft, a rise of 20,529 ft. It covered a distance of 46 nautical miles during this period.
After reaching a high altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 18 miles south of Juan L. Lacaze in the Departamento de Colonia, Uruguay. It descended from 21,567 ft to 1,314 ft, a decrease of 20,252 ft over 16 minutes, and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at the Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport was made from the southwest, at an angle of 54.0 °. The aircraft arrived at 4 nautical miles from the runway and 1,238 ft above ground level.
Once at the runway, the landing was executed, covering a touchdown distance of 417 m. The threshold speed, however, was slightly higher than desired at 84 kt. The touchdown speed of 63 kt was satisfactory, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 fpm. Alignment of the runway touchdown was very good, indicating a precise landing.
The local conditions during the final approach were 16 °C temperature and winds of 7 kt at 18 °. The aircraft experienced a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 6 kt.
With a total distance of 120 nautical miles covered over 38 minutes, the flight used 147 kg of fuel, concluding the trip successfully.
Aircraft Vision Jet Successfully Lands at Carrasco International Airport
The Vision Jet aircraft has made a commendable landing at Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport, scoring a high rate of 95.8%. The final approach to runway 06 was executed from the south-west direction at a heading of 54.0 degrees and a distance of 4 nautical miles while maintaining an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated excellent control in its approach to the runway, particularly in terms of alignment.
Upon touchdown, the Vision Jet showed a good touchdown speed of 63 knots, and the touchdown distance was well-controlled at 417 meters. Moreover, the touchdown rate was remarkably smooth, at -148 feet per minute, indicating the pilot's proficiency and control. The runway alignment during landing was nearly perfect, showcasing the pilot's skills in navigating the aircraft.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a relatively gentle wind speed of 7 knots from an 18-degree angle. The crosswind was minimal, while the headwind had a moderate strength of 6 knots. The pilot effectively managed the aircraft despite these gentle wind conditions, resulting in a smooth landing.
However, there was a slight room for improvement. The threshold speed was somewhat higher than expected, at 84 knots, indicating a possible over-rotation during the landing or an over-enthusiastic flare by the pilot. Nonetheless, this minor discrepancy did not significantly compromise the overall quality of the landing, given the overall good scores achieved by the Vision Jet during this landing exercise.
