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 5,453 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,453 ft of the 5,802 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,090 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 La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 2,378 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 60°F and winds of 11 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Lagord, where the aircraft ascended from 1,089 feet above sea level to 29,590 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,500 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south of La Chevroliere. This phase of the flight lasted 16 minutes and covered 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 29,702 feet above sea level to 9,832 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,871 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Saint-Jean-du-Bois.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Challet, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 9,817 feet above sea level to 2,944 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,873 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Chartainvilliers.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Villiers-Saint-Frederic, which lasted 5 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at Vélizy-Villacoublay Air Base was made from the west, heading 90.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,334 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 at Vélizy-Villacoublay Air Base was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 66 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,086 feet. The touchdown rate was excellent at -80 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 57°F and winds of 2 knots at 60°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,115 feet, accounting for 88% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 247 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used 504 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at LFPV Vélizy-Villacoublay Air Base, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 90.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,334 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 76 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 1,086 feet, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 10 feet off the centerline. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 60°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing. The total landing distance of 5,115 feet was 88% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway space. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the Vision Jet aircraft performed well during the landing at LFPV Vélizy-Villacoublay Air Base, with a score of 92.7%. The minor deviations in the touchdown position and threshold speed were not significant enough to impact the overall performance of the landing.
