Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 30 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 13,105 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 990 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 OOMS Muscat International Airport, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 2,130 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 95°F temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead OOMS Muscat International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,057 feet above sea level to 31,847 feet above sea level, a total increase of 30,790 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 18 miles southwest of Adam, Oman, and lasted for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 259 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 9 miles northeast of OOMX Marmul Airport, with the aircraft descending from 31,287 feet above sea level to 1,371 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 29,916 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at OOSA Salalah Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 251.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 983 feet, which was 16% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 68 knots, and the touchdown rate was -163 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 81°F temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 2,039 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 463 nautical miles, took 114 minutes, and used 718 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet successfully completed a landing at OOSA Salalah Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 74 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 983 feet, and the touchdown speed was maintained at a safe 68 knots. The rate of descent at touchdown was -163 feet per minute, which is considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,039 feet, which is only 16% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently, with a good rollout alignment. The runway rollout alignment was particularly noteworthy, as it was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at OOSA Salalah Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills. The high score achieved is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
