Smooth the climb
Next time
Hold the nose until reaching 75 kt before rotating.
What happened: Rotation began at 69 kt, 6 kt before the 75 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 75 kt.
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 24 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 24 ft agl, above the 24 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 447 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 183 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed AYGH Guhu Airstrip on runway 02, achieving liftoff after a takeoff roll of 346 m, which represented 60 % of the available runway. Liftoff speed was recorded at 69 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced immediately after departure, beginning overhead the airfield at an altitude of 4,031 ft ASL. The aircraft ascended to 10,006 ft ASL, gaining 5,975 ft in 5 minutes while covering 9 nm.
Cruise was established 8 miles north-west of PZ67 Mibu Airstrip. The level segment lasted 29 minutes and spanned 10 nm.
Descent began 3 miles north-east of PZ67, with the aircraft descending from 10,003 ft ASL to 7,509 ft ASL, a loss of 2,493 ft in 3 minutes over 7 nm. The descent continued overhead AYBC Bambu Airport, where altitude fell from 7,488 ft ASL to 6,974 ft ASL, a reduction of 515 ft in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
The aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, covering less than 1 nm in 14 seconds, and proceeded to final approach for runway 07 at AYBC Bambu Airport. The approach was from the west on a heading of 71.0°, at 0 nm and 147 ft AGL. Weather at the destination was 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 271°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 3 kt.
Landing on runway 07, which is 447 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 70 kt. Touchdown occurred 183 m down the runway at 56 kt and a vertical speed of 249 fpm. The total landing distance was 297 m, representing 66 % of the runway, and runway-touchdown alignment was reported as very good.
Runway rollout alignment was also described as very good, indicating a smooth transition from touchdown to taxi speed.
In total, the flight covered 29 nm, required 13 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 32 kg of fuel.
The aircraft approached runway 07 at AYBC Bambu Airport from the west on a heading of 71.0 ° while 0 nm from the threshold and 147 ft AGL, with local temperature 15 °C, wind 3 kt from 271°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 70 kt.
Touchdown occurred 183 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 56 kt that was good, a touchdown rate of 249 fpm that was perfect, and runway-touchdown alignment described as very good; the total landing distance was 297 m, representing 66 % of the 447 m runway.
Rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 94.2 %, the landing was strong; refining the approach to reduce the modest tailwind component and conserving a slightly larger runway margin would tighten performance margins further.
