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 4,627 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,627 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,167 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 35 at Gillespie Field, also known as KSEE. The aircraft, a Microsoft PA-28-236 Dakota, successfully took off after covering a distance of 752 feet, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 62 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled departure.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 283 degrees. The crosswind component was also 2 knots, while the headwind component was negligible. The climb started overhead Santee, California, and the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 787 feet above sea level to 979 feet, a gain of 192 feet in just 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 27R at KSEE Gillespie Field, coming in from the east at a heading of 279.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 1 nautical mile away from the runway and at an altitude of 540 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 57 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,161 feet, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -113 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those during the climb, with a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 5 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,743 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a controlled and safe landing. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -1 pound of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Microsoft-simulated PA-28-236 Dakota, successfully landed on runway 27R at Gillespie Field (KSEE) with a score of 93.0%. The pilot executed a final approach from the east, heading 279.0° at 1 nautical mile and 540 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's descent onto the runway was smooth, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 70 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was impressive, with a touchdown distance of 1,161 feet, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also good, indicating a controlled and stable approach. The touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and even descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots at 5°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and there was no headwind. These conditions contributed to a successful landing, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and rolling out with perfect alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,743 feet was 38% of the runway length, which is a reasonable and acceptable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good flying skills and a high level of proficiency.
