Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
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 11,166 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,098 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 Lamezia Terme Airport, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 1,757 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 73°F temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 90 degrees. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Lamezia Terme Airport and continued for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from 941 feet above sea level to 27,604 feet, an increase of 26,663 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 34 miles east of Isola di Capo Rizzuto in Calabria, Italy. This phase of the flight lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 226 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile south of Skoteini in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The descent from 27,739 feet to 1,797 feet took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 37.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,501 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 65 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,089 feet, which was 19% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 81°F temperature and an 8-knot headwind at 50 degrees, with a minimal crosswind of 2 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 375 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 982 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet successfully landed on runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The aircraft began its final approach from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,501 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance indicate a well-executed instrument landing system (ILS) approach, which is a common method used for precision landings.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control and stability, with a threshold speed of 71 knots and a touchdown speed of 65 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,089 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The firm touchdown rate of -335 feet per minute (fpm) suggests that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's momentum and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 2,080 feet was only 19% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the landing. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilot, as well as a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
