Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 90 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 103 kt against a rotation target of 90 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 90 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 178 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 384 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,600 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 6.0° against the runway's 3° and centreline 1.8° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,709 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,178 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Georgetown, Guyana, began with a taxiing phase that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The Vision Jet then rolled onto runway 06, utilizing 2,516 feet, or 34% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 103 knots. Local weather conditions at the time featured a temperature of 80°F, with a 6-knot headwind and a 1-knot crosswind.
The enroute climb phase commenced overhead the departure airport, with the aircraft ascending from 752 feet above sea level to 27,390 feet, a vertical gain of 26,638 feet, in 22 minutes and covering 80 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 31 minutes and covering 149 nautical miles, before initiating a descent phase from 28,007 feet to 1,952 feet, a decrease of 26,055 feet, in 24 minutes and covering 93 nautical miles. The final approach to General Manuel Carlos Piar International Airport in Piar, Venezuela, was conducted from the northeast, with a heading of 242.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,495 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 at General Manuel Carlos Piar International Airport was notable for a threshold speed that exceeded the target at 95 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,176 feet was within acceptable limits, although the touchdown speed of 83 knots was slightly above the desired value. The touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute was fair, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance of 2,573 feet, or 38% of the runway, was within acceptable limits, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline. The total flight distance of 328 nautical miles was completed in 86 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 555 pounds.
The final approach to runway 26 at SVPR General Manuel Carlos Piar International Airport from the north east was executed with a heading of 242.0° at 2 nm and 1,495 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, reaching 95 kt, which may indicate a slight over-control by the pilot.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 83 kt, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -211 fpm. The touchdown distance was good at 1,176 ft, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind of 10 kt at 68°, contributed to a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of 10 kt. The total landing distance of 2,573 ft was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 ft from the centreline. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 93.3%. The Vision Jet's pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases, but could benefit from further refinement in terms of speed control and alignment during the rollout phase.
