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 597 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 597 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 143 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

The landing occurred on runway 11 at TFFC Saint Francois, which had a runway length of 597 meters. The height at the threshold was 12 feet above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 71 knots. The touchdown occurred 142 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 67 knots and a vertical speed indicator of -162 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 34 °C with a wind speed of 4 knots coming from 150°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 322 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
