MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 335 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 284 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 13,835 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,174 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 30L at Dubai International Airport (OMDB), with a takeoff distance of 2,523 feet, which was 21% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 101 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 101 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 91 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,020 feet above sea level to 31,393 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,373 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 39 miles northwest of Sir Abu Nu'ayr Airport (OMSN), and lasted for 60 minutes, covering a distance of 298 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 48 miles north of Khurais Airport (OEKN), descending from 31,020 feet above sea level to 10,180 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,840 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 22 miles west of Pump Station 3 Airport (OEPC), and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 16 miles west of OEPC, with the aircraft descending from 9,802 feet above sea level to 4,668 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,134 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise started 10 miles east of King Khaled International Airport (OERK), and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33R at OERK, heading 330 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,174 feet, which was 14% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 76 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 70 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 17 knots at 330 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,986 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 512 nautical miles, taking 132 minutes, and the aircraft used 896 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at OERK King Khaled International Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 330.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 13,835 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and speed, reaching 76 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a high temperature of 102°F and a moderate headwind of 17 knots from the southeast. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,986 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for only 14% of the runway's length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing performance at OERK King Khaled International Airport was impressive, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision. While there were minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the aircraft's overall performance was satisfactory, and the pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions was commendable.
