Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 1.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,787 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 924 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at KJAN Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 16L, with a takeoff distance of 1,973 feet, which was 23% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 95 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KJAN, it encountered local weather conditions of 81°F temperature and a 5-knot wind at 69°. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,381 feet above sea level to 28,016 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,635 feet in 20 minutes, covering 64 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile southwest of Nellieburg, Mississippi, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering 46 nautical miles. The descent started 7 miles north of Boligee, Alabama, and took the aircraft from 28,055 feet above sea level to 1,882 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,173 feet in 21 minutes, covering 73 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 55.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 10,787 feet, with the threshold height at 57 feet above ground level being slightly above target and the threshold speed being well above target at 82 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 922 feet, with a touchdown speed of 72 knots being a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at KBHM were 75°F temperature and a 6-knot wind at 40°, with a 2-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,305 feet, which was 12% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 192 nautical miles, taking 63 minutes, and the aircraft used 434 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, achieving a score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 55.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 06, which has a length of 10,787 feet.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft was slightly above the target height at 57 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 82 knots, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 922 feet, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 72 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, even if the speed was not perfectly aligned with the target. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance was 1,305 feet, which is 12% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
