Smooth the climb
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,810 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,810 m of the 2,545 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 333 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 29 at EPWR Copernicus Wrocław Airport in a period of 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 29, the aircraft accelerated through a take-off distance of 1,105 m, representing 44 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 144 kt. Ambient conditions were 25 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 339°, including a 5 kt headwind component and a 5 kt crosswind.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of Galow, with the airplane climbing from 1,355 ft asl to 20,009 ft asl, an altitude gain of 18,654 ft achieved in 9 minutes while covering 45 nm.
Level cruise began 3 miles west of Pielgrzymka and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft progressed 10 nm at a steady altitude.
Descent was initiated 2 miles south-east of Nowogrodziec, descending from 20,009 ft asl to 1,976 ft asl, a loss of 18,033 ft over 14 minutes and a distance of 67 nm.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 221.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,242 ft agl.
Landing on runway 22, which is 2,542 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 132 kt. Touchdown occurred 335 m down the runway at 123 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 311 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather at the time was 20 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 330°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,729 m, equivalent to 68 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 131 nm, required 35 minutes from departure to arrival, and consumed 1,433 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 completed a final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 221.0° at 4 nm and 1,242 ft agl, with a local temperature of 20 °C, wind 3 kt from 330°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component, achieving an overall score of 99.0%.
At the threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 132 kt.
Touchdown occurred 335 m down the runway at a good speed of 123 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 311 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance was 1,729 m, representing 68 % of the 2,542 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain the excellent alignment and speed control, but aim to reduce the touchdown rate slightly to soften the landing, and consider optimizing the touchdown point to further reduce runway usage.
