Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,134 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,134 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 151 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 504 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 38 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 189 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 3,081 feet above sea level to 6,528 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,447 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise 1 mile west of Enterprise, Nevada, and remained at that altitude for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute climb resumed 3 miles north of Jean Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 7,591 feet above sea level to 13,033 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,442 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 8 miles south of Jean Airport and remained at that altitude for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 5 miles southeast of Kidwell Airport, where the aircraft descended from 13,000 feet above sea level to 4,451 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,549 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 2 miles northwest of Mesquite Creek, Arizona, and remained at that altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Mohave Valley, where the aircraft descended from 4,428 feet above sea level to 1,975 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,453 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 2 miles northwest of Bullhead City, Arizona, and remained at that altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of Mesquite Creek, where the aircraft descended from 1,907 feet above sea level to 1,192 feet above sea level, a decrease of 715 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at Bullhead City Airport was from the south, with a heading of 360 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 447 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 150 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 76 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -123 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 37 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 336 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline.
The total flight distance was 104 nautical miles, and the flight took 52 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 122 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at A20 Sun Valley, achieving a score of 94.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at 2 nautical miles and 447 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 36, which has a length of 1,134 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 76 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 150 meters, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -123 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable characteristic for a safe landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 37°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 220°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 336 meters, which is 30% 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. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's post-landing technique.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at A20 Sun Valley was successful, with a high score and a smooth touchdown. However, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
