Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,216 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 m 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 CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport. This process took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 26, with a takeoff distance of 525 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 99 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile south of Little Portugal, Ontario, Canada, at an altitude of 1,260 feet above sea level. The climb continued to an altitude of 1,970 feet above sea level, an increase of 710 feet, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles southwest of CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport was initiated from the east, with a heading of 243.0 degrees at an altitude of 618 feet above ground level, and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 435 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 87 knots was slightly too fast, and the touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 9 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 727 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 9 nautical miles, took 11 minutes to complete, and used 25 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth takeoff, a steady climb, a level cruise, and a successful landing, with some minor deviations from optimal performance.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport, achieving a score of 91.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 243.0° at 1 nautical mile and 618 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 26, which has a length of 1,216 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 100 knots, which may indicate that the pilot could have slowed down more aggressively during the final approach. This could have resulted in a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance was good at 435 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the runway length. However, the touchdown speed was too fast at 87 knots, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. On the other hand, the touchdown rate was excellent at -61 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and light winds of 4 knots at 9°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind was even weaker at 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 727 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport was a success, with a score of 91.1%. While there were some minor issues with the threshold speed and touchdown speed, the pilot's overall performance was impressive, and the aircraft landed safely and smoothly.
