Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

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.

Flight narrative

Departure from Groningen Airport Eelde, EHGG, commenced with a smooth roll down runway 23. The aircraft, DV20, accelerated to liftoff speed of 55 kt, achieving lift-off in 1,840 meters, which represented 74% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt from a direction of 222 °.

As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it leveled off at a cruise altitude 1 mile west of Yde, covering a distance of 2 nm in 2 minutes. This brief period of level flight allowed the crew to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at EHGG, descending from an altitude of 195 ft above ground level (agl) with a heading of 52.0 °. The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 35 kt and a distance of 388 meters, which was well within the available runway length of 2,493 meters.

The landing distance of 495 meters, representing 20% of the runway, was a testament to the crew's skill and the aircraft's performance. The touchdown rate of -73 fpm was particularly noteworthy, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the crew's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and direction during the critical phase of landing. The total flight distance of 3 nm was completed in 3 minutes, with a fuel consumption of -2 kg, indicating a highly efficient flight.
