Slow down before tight turns
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.
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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,472 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 920 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 Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 21L, with a takeoff distance of 361 feet, which accounted for 3% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Athens, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 16,873 feet above sea level. This climb started over the airport and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude of 15,584 feet over a period of 9 minutes. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles. This phase began 6 miles southwest of Marmarion, a location in Central Greece. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles northwest of Ikaria Airport on the Ikaria Island in the North Aegean region of Greece. The descent from 16,880 feet above sea level to 1,376 feet above sea level took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Samos Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 274.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,340 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 63 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the touchdown distance was 912 feet, which was good considering the runway length of 6,472 feet.
The total landing distance was 1,822 feet, accounting for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 152 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used 479 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at LGSM Samos Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.7%. The aircraft's final approach to runway 27 from the east, heading 274.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,340 feet above ground level (agl), demonstrates precise navigation and control.
Upon landing, the Vision Jet touched down on the runway with a speed of 75 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 912 feet was well within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 63 knots was also satisfactory.
The rate of descent during touchdown was smooth, at -110 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's exceptional skill and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 63°F, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,822 feet was only 28% of the runway length, demonstrating the Vision Jet's excellent braking performance and the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and descent rate. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, this landing is a testament to the Vision Jet's capabilities and the pilot's expertise.
