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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 179 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a P-750 XSTOL, then departed from runway 29 at CYQB Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport. The takeoff distance was 500 meters, which is 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 76°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead CYQB Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport, Quebec, Canada, and climbed from an altitude of 603 feet above sea level to 14,821 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,218 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 11 miles north of CSH5 Saint-Ferdinand Airport, Saint-Ferdinand, Quebec, Canada, and lasted for 171 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles north of Norridgewock, Maine, United States, and descended from 14,980 feet above sea level to 1,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,950 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to landing was made 3 miles north of Athens, Maine, United States, from an altitude of 134 feet above ground level to 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent from 49 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level, a decrease of 49 feet in 5 seconds. The touchdown speed was 55 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -172 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 179 meters, which was also considered good.
The landing rollout took place 3 miles north of Athens, Maine, United States, at an altitude of 892 feet above sea level, and covered a distance of 40 meters. The total flight distance was 161 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 199 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 478 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The P-750 XSTOL aircraft successfully completed a landing at a location 3 miles north of Athens, Maine, United States. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 1 nautical mile, with the aircraft at an altitude of 134 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot expertly guided the aircraft through the descent, reducing the altitude from 49 feet agl to 0 feet agl in a mere 5 seconds, demonstrating exceptional control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 55 knots, which was deemed good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered good, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-managed and the pilot was able to maintain control throughout the landing process. The touchdown distance of 179 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 159 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which likely assisted the pilot in maintaining control during the landing. Following the touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was completed at an altitude of 892 feet above sea level (asl), with a distance of 40 meters.
Overall, the P-750 XSTOL aircraft performed well during the landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and control throughout the final approach, touchdown, and landing rollout phases. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
