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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,774 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,774 m of the 2,493 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 656 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at EGSS London Stansted Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22, with a takeoff distance of 1,694 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Birchanger, Essex, England. The climb from 398 meters above sea level to 1,520 meters above sea level, an increase of 1,122.4 meters, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead High Easter, Essex, England, for 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its climb, starting 1 mile south of Black Notley, Essex, England. The climb from 1,571 meters above sea level to 10,633 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,061.7 meters, took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying 39 miles north west of Nieuw-Haamstede, Provincie Zeeland, The Netherlands, for 11 minutes and covering 121 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 1 mile north east of Hengelo, Provincie Gelderland, The Netherlands. The descent from 10,630 meters above sea level to 1,524 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,106.9 meters, took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying 1 mile south of Bad Karlshafen, Hessen, Germany, for 3 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 2 miles south east of Dransfeld, Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent from 1,524 meters above sea level to 1,354 meters above sea level, a decrease of 169.7 meters, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying 3 miles west of Friedland, Lower Saxony, Germany, for 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 1 mile south east of Hannoversch Muenden, Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent from 1,223 meters above sea level to 638 meters above sea level, a decrease of 584.5 meters, took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at EDVK Kassel Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 275.0 degrees and at an altitude of 381.5 meters above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 27 at EDVK Kassel Airport, which had a length of 2,493 meters. The touchdown point was 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of 0.3 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,691 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 383 nautical miles, and the flight took 71 minutes. The aircraft used 3,
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDVK Kassel Airport, achieving a high score of 96.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 275.0° at an altitude of 381.5 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots. This speed was considered good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of 0.3 meters per second was also perfect, demonstrating a gentle and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C. The total landing distance of 1,691 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path. Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, and the landing was considered successful.
