Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,029 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,130 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 OIFE Hesa Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 3,455 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile south east of Z14L Jafarabao Jafarabao, in the Isfahan Province of Iran. The climb began at an altitude of 6,229 feet above sea level and reached 30,496 feet, an increase of 24,267 feet, in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 332°.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 24 miles south east of OIMR Mobarakeh Airport Mobarakeh, also in the Isfahan Province of Iran. This phase lasted for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 307 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 36 miles west of Chalow Gohreh, in the Hormozgan Province of Iran. The descent started at an altitude of 30,530 feet above sea level and ended at 1,181 feet, a decrease of 29,349 feet, in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03R at OIKB Bandar Abbas International Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 26.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,138 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots and a touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the touchdown distance was good at 1,128 feet.
The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 99°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 175°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 4,308 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 439 nautical miles, taking 119 minutes, and the aircraft used 752 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at OIKB Bandar Abbas International Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,138 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
Upon landing on runway 03R, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 77 kt, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing conditions. Nevertheless, this did not affect the overall performance of the aircraft.
The touchdown distance of 1,128 feet was good, and the touchdown speed of 68 kt was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 99°F, and a moderate wind blowing at 10 kt from a direction of 175°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind of 8 kt, which the pilot successfully managed to compensate for during the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,308 feet was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This was a testament to the aircraft's excellent performance and the pilot's skill in navigating the landing. 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 OIKB Bandar Abbas International Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of challenging conditions. The pilot's skill and experience were evident throughout the landing, and the aircraft's performance was exemplary.
