The Cirrus Vision Jet is the first single-engine production jet, a 7-seater with the same parachute (CAPS) that ships on the SR22. It's smaller than a Citation, lighter to handle, and approaches at speeds that a piston pilot can recognize. The Garmin G3000 panel is identical to bigger Garmin-equipped jets.
Landing technique.
Approach at Vref + 5, slowing to Vref over the threshold (~85 KIAS at typical weights).
Flare at 15 to 20 ft AGL. The Vision's wing is small and the aircraft settles quickly.
Idle thrust on the auto-callout; the single PW610F engine spools predictably.
Light brakes, the Vision is much lighter than other jets and stopping is easy.
No thrust reverse, plan stopping distance accordingly on short runways.
Common mistakes.
Carrying too much speed and floating, the Vision's wing is small and clean, holds extra energy.
Hard nose-wheel touchdowns, the gear leg is shorter than a Citation's and transmits shock.
Failing to plan for no-reverse stopping distance.
How its touchdown is scored.
The score at each point of its curves. Between the points, scores fall in a straight line; the full method is in the scoring methodology.
No shared landings or board for this aircraft yet. Its figures appear once pilots with a public profile have shared 5 graded landings in it, and a board once at least 5 opted-in pilots have flown it 10 or more times each. See the boards there are.
