Monitor your taxi speed
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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,828 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 253 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the taxiing of the Vision Jet from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The departure roll occurred on runway 06 at 4N1 Greenwood Lake Airport.
Upon departure, the aircraft took off with an initial liftoff speed of 90 knots. Local weather conditions featured a temperature of 25 °C with a moderate headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 27 °. The aircraft's takeoff distance required approximately 34% of the runway length, totaling 354 meters.
Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a steep climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,379 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,868 ft asl over a distance of 2 nm and within 1 minute. The climbing phase concluded overhead the JY43 Hill Top Airport in West Milford, New Jersey.
The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 2,868 ft asl. This phase of the flight lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nm as the aircraft flew overhead this location.
The aircraft descended in preparation for landing, starting over 1 mile east of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The descent, which decreased the altitude from 2,208 ft asl to 952 ft asl, covered a distance of 4 nm over a span of 2 minutes. Following the initial descent, the aircraft entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes as it flew over Berkeley Heights and covering 5 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport began with the aircraft heading southwest at 2 nm and 683 feet above ground level. The local weather during the approach presented a temperature of 20 °C with a gentle headwind of 1 knot coming from a direction of 20 °.
Landing on the 1,828-meter-long runway was executed, with the landing speed exceeding the target threshold speed at 81 knots. The touchdown distance measured 252 meters, considered good within the context of the flight. However, the touchdown speed came in slightly faster than desired at 70 knots.
Additionally, the touchdown rate was relatively fair at -238 feet per minute. A slight misalignment issue was observed, with the aircraft touchdown position deviating 3.5 meters to the side of the runway's centerline.
Finally, the Vision Jet taxied back to the airport parking area in just 1 minute, covering a very short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Throughout the flight, the Vision Jet consumed 69 kg of fuel while flying a total distance of 40 nm, with a total time of 16 minutes.
The aircraft Vision Jet recently landed at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport, with a final approach from the southwest. The aircraft's altitude during the final approach was 683 feet above ground level (agl), and it was at a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's heading during the final approach was 39.0 degrees.
Upon touchdown, the pilots were successful in achieving a good threshold height and speed that was well above the target. However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was a little faster than the target speed, indicating that the touchdown could have been smoother. Despite this, the touchdown rate was fair, at -238 feet per minute. The touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which could have been an area for improvement.
The local weather during the landing was largely conducive to a smooth landing, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and light winds of only 2 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was negligible at 0 knots, and a gentle headwind of 1 knot aided the pilots in controlling the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 424 meters was only about 23% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots performed well in controlling the Vision Jet's speed and descent during the landing.
One of the notable aspects of the landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was deemed to be very good. This suggests that the pilots effectively controlled the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout after touchdown, demonstrating their proficiency in conducting a smooth and controlled touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful and demonstrated good airmanship and piloting skills by the Vision Jet pilots.
