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 1,540 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,540 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 504 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777F, then departed from runway 33 at Warsaw Chopin Airport (EPWA). The takeoff distance was 1,306 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 184 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 39 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Wlochy in the Masovian Voivodeship, Poland, and ascended from an altitude of 1,343 feet above sea level to 35,899 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,555 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Blaszki in the Lodzkie Voivodeship, Poland. This phase lasted for 37 minutes and covered a distance of 295 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile east of Sankt Kilian in Thuringia, Germany, and descended from an altitude of 36,407 feet above sea level to 3,070 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,337 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile south-east of Maintal in Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the east, heading 250.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,395 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25R was successful, with a touchdown point 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -384 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,458 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 487 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,411 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777F aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25R, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,395 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were well within the acceptable limits, with a threshold speed of 144 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 87 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -384 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 170°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,458 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
