Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 361 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Bonanza G36 aircraft departed from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, covering a takeoff distance of 482 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 83 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 39 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 64.4 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself was completed in 51 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The pattern base leg turn was performed at an angle of 59.6 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The base leg was then completed in 41 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final turn was executed in 67 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 from the north, at a heading of 182 degrees and an altitude of 160 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 360 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 78 knots was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -128 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees.
The total landing distance was 687 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 182.0° at 0 nm and 160 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 92 kt. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise speed.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 360 meters, which is a reasonable distance for a landing on a runway of this length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 78 kt, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -128 fpm, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a light wind of 3 kt at 225°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 kt, which is relatively minimal and should not have had a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 687 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Bonanza G36 aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision.
