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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 94 m 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 14 at LFLE Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux Airfield, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 130 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Challes-les-Eaux, ascending from 1,287 feet above sea level to 1,844 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Chambery and descending from 1,995 feet above sea level to 1,313 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 358.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 530 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 92 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway. The threshold speed was good at 62 knots, and the touchdown speed was 59 knots, although this was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown rate was smooth at -115 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its final approach and landing. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 358.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 530 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the final approach was impressive, with a score of 99.5%. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 62 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was equally impressive. The touchdown distance of 92 meters was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 59 knots, although a little fast, did not compromise the safety of the landing. The touchdown rate of -115 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C. This suggests that the pilot was able to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, despite any potential challenges posed by the weather.
One of the most notable aspects of this landing was the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment, which was described as "very good". This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, and that the aircraft was aligned with the runway at the time of touchdown.
The total landing distance of 110 meters, which accounted for only 7% of the runway length, was also impressive. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely, without compromising the safety of the landing.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was described as "perfect", indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently, without any issues or complications.
Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilot, and highlights the importance of careful planning, execution, and control during the final approach and landing phases of flight.
