Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 90 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

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.
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 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,114 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 KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 17R, with a takeoff distance of 2,365 feet, which is 24% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 72°F temperature and winds of 5 knots at 7°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,469 feet above sea level to 30,919 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,451 feet in 23 minutes, covering 71 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles north of Plum Springs, Kentucky, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering 140 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 5 miles southwest of Trenton, Georgia, and descended from 30,835 feet above sea level to 13,852 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,983 feet in 9 minutes, covering 51 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles west of Euharlee, Georgia, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering 108 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles southwest of KIIY Washington Wilkes County Airport, Washington, Georgia, and descended from 13,273 feet above sea level to 5,040 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,233 feet in 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles northwest of KCPP Greene Co Regl Greensboro, Georgia, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile southeast of Conyers, Georgia, and descended from 5,036 feet above sea level to 2,904 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,132 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise began 3 miles south of Lithonia, Georgia, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,144 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 26R, which is 8,984 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 73 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,109 feet, and the touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 79°F temperature and winds of 5 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 3,235 feet, which is 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 448 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 114 minutes. The aircraft used 793 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 26R. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,144 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, resulting in a smooth touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 68 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed of 73 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,109 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -129 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and stability throughout the descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 300°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot. The runway length of 8,984 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the Vision Jet's landing distance of 3,235 feet, which accounted for only 36% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's heading and alignment with the runway centerline throughout the approach. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KATL was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and expertise.
