Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 90 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 122 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
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,010 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,010 ft of the 7,974 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,586 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 06, with a takeoff distance of 3,026 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 122 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 76°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 7 knots. After departing from KBHM, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,673 feet above sea level to 28,768 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 44 minutes and covered a distance of 224 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 4 miles south of Millport, Alabama. After the cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started overhead Cammack Village, Arkansas. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from 28,724 feet to 2,096 feet.
The final approach to runway 04L at KLIT Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 79.0° and being 3 nautical miles away from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04L, which had a length of 7,974 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 91 knots. The touchdown point was 164 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 80 knots, which was considered fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 43 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 42 feet from the centreline. The total landing distance was 4,688 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 303 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes. The aircraft used 569 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed on runway 04L at KLIT Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field, but with some areas for improvement. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 79.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,772 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 7,974 feet, which provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to touch down safely.
However, there were some issues with the landing performance. The threshold speed was too high at 91 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft touching down 164 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 80 knots was also faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute was only fair. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 43 feet from the centreline, which may have affected the aircraft's stability during the landing.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F. The total landing distance of 4,688 feet was 59% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 42 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the landing.
Overall, while the Vision Jet aircraft landed safely, there are some areas for improvement in terms of landing performance and alignment. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the aircraft can achieve a more precise and efficient landing.
