Smooth the climb
Enroute Climb scored 58.23 % — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then GPWS warning; bank angle up to 83.8 ° at 12 %, speed limits at 86 % was the weak point. Fixed, this flight scores 91.56 %.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 79 kt with 8.5° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 361 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 444 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,350 fpm on average to 361 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.
Plan view the roll down the 1,913 ft runway.
Rolled from 320 ft in, never more than 5 ft off the centreline. Airborne 43 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Perfect landing flare
No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 170° at 4 kt · 4 kt head · 0 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 54 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,069 ft in, close to the ideal 1,000 ft.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 790 fpm at 53 ft to 390 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 6.0° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,858 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 6 ft right of the centreline.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
The 1,069 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.48 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
The Horten Ho229 aircraft departed from runway 20 at UKRB Krasny Yar Airport, a relatively short takeoff roll of 585 feet, which accounted for only 31% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 80 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 47 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 170 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 561 feet above sea level to a height of 1,341 feet, a vertical gain of 780 feet in just 1 minute. This rapid climb was achieved while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's impressive rate of ascent. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from a height of 1,292 feet above sea level to a height of 487 feet, a vertical gain of 805 feet in 2 minutes. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, further showcasing the aircraft's climbing capabilities. The final approach to runway 15 at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport was initiated from a northeasterly heading, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 63 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 68 knots and a distance of 1,064 feet. The touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 47 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 170 degrees.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 14 nautical miles, taking approximately 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed 57 pounds of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight demonstrated the Horten Ho229's impressive climbing and descending capabilities, as well as its ability to navigate various weather conditions with precision and control.
