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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,482 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 167 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a DA-50, then departed from runway 16 at UBZA Zabrat Airport. The takeoff distance was 254 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 19 knots.
After departing from UBZA Zabrat Airport, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 17 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. This phase began overhead the airport and allowed the aircraft to reach a cruising altitude. The flight then proceeded to its destination, UBSU Sital Chay Airport, where it began its final approach to runway 17R from the north. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 241 feet above ground level and was heading in a direction of 169.0 degrees. The local weather conditions at the time of the final approach were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 167 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 15 knots.
The landing on runway 17R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 166 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 68 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -102 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 38 nautical miles and lasted for 25 minutes. The aircraft used 13 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled takeoff, a successful cruise phase, and a good landing, with only a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The DA-50 aircraft successfully landed at UBSU Sital Chay Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 17R was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 169.0° at 1 nautical mile and 241 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the good threshold height and the pilot's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 68 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 166 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a headwind of 15 knots. The wind direction was from 167°, which was relatively close to the aircraft's heading, minimizing the impact of crosswind. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, further reducing the risk of any issues during the landing.
The total landing distance of 365 meters was only 15% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed and descent rate. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the DA-50 aircraft, with the pilot executing a smooth and controlled landing in a variety of challenging conditions. The good threshold height, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate all contributed to a safe and successful landing.
