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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,137 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 481 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Paris-Le Bourget Airport, the Honda HA420 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Once on the runway, the aircraft accelerated down runway 25, lifting off at a speed of 124 knots after a takeoff distance of 1,298 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 352°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it passed over Garges-les-Gonesse, reaching a height of 16,510 feet above sea level after an ascent of 15,513 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Arthies, lasting 9 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent from 16,508 feet to 2,216 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,292 feet in 8 minutes, covering 34 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase near Fort-Moville, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 30 at Deauville-Normandie Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the southeast.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 110 knots. The touchdown point was 86 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 101 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -51 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,323 meters, accounting for 78% of the runway's length. Following a taxiing phase that lasted just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 122 nautical miles and using 250 kilograms of fuel in the process, which took a total of 41 minutes.
The final approach to runway 30 at LFRG Deauville-Normandie Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 298.0° at 4 nm and 1,126 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 110 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 86 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 101 kt was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -51 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 209°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,323 m was 78% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 97.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
