Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 67 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 88 kt, 21 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 67 kt at liftoff

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,763 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 203 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted in a Microsoft aircraft, specifically a PA28-236 Dakota, with the registration FRNGS. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, a process that took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft prepared for takeoff, it rolled down runway 25, utilizing 458 meters or 25% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was sufficient, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 88 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Isla Vista, California. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from 1,044 feet above sea level to 3,409 feet, an increase of 2,365 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, which began overhead Santa Barbara and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a series of enroute climbs and descents, with notable climbs occurring over Moorpark and Simi Valley, and descents occurring over Ventura and San Fernando. Each of these phases was characterized by a specific altitude change, distance covered, and duration.
The final approach to runway 08 at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 93.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,078 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 63 knots and a distance of 201 meters. The touchdown rate was good at -152 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 17 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 83 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 28 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Microsoft-simulated PA28-236 Dakota, successfully landed at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport with a score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 93.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,078 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 63 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 201 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a stable approach. The touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute was also good, suggesting that the aircraft had not experienced any significant deceleration during the landing.
However, there were a few minor issues with the landing. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 70 knots, which may indicate that the pilot was being cautious or had not fully utilized the aircraft's descent capabilities. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor error in navigation.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 149°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which would have had a negligible impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 416 meters was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had made a good approach and had maintained control throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase without any issues.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills. However, there were a few minor issues that could be addressed in future landings to achieve an even higher score.
