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 1,061 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,061 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 287 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Oban Airport (EGEO), the Sirius aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 19, accelerating smoothly to a liftoff speed of 58 knots. The aircraft lifted off the ground in a mere 70 meters, utilizing just 8% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a stable and controlled departure.
Following a brief enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 19 at EGEO. The approach was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 184.0° at an altitude of 41 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a steady descent, and the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 42 knots, with a touchdown rate of -34 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 284 meters was well within the acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft came to a stop after a total landing distance of 511 meters, which represented 55% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. The total flight distance was a mere 3 nautical miles, and the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, suggesting a highly efficient operation. The Sirius aircraft had demonstrated its capabilities in a challenging environment, with a smooth and controlled takeoff, enroute cruise, and landing.
The final approach to runway 19 at EGEO Oban Airport from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft establishing a heading of 184.0° at 0 nm and 41 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 54 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 284 m, with a speed of 42 kt, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The touchdown characteristics were outstanding, with a perfect touchdown rate of -34 fpm, demonstrating exceptional control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 260°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, and the headwind component was negligible at 1 kt.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The total landing distance of 511 m was 55% of the runway length, indicating a well-executed landing. Overall, the landing was a credit to the pilot's skill and experience, with a final score of 98.0%. The landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown, with all phases of the landing executed with precision and control.
