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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,016 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 649 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Tulsa International Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 18L, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 145 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of KTUL, rising from an altitude of 1,657 feet above sea level to 12,508 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,851 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase of the flight started 5 miles south of Inola, Oklahoma, and lasted for 54 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 292 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase of the flight began 5 miles northeast of Parsons Field in Brighton, Tennessee, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 11,694 feet above sea level to 1,754 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,940 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at Whitehurst Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 187.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19 at Whitehurst Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 101 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good at 642 feet, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,051 feet, accounting for 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 344 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at M08 Whitehurst, achieving a score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 19 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 187.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which had a length of 5,016 feet, and the threshold height was reported as good.
The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed, coming in at 106 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 642 feet. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 101 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -197 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12 feet.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and no headwind. The total landing distance was 2,051 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
