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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 2,886 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 461 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight involved a Bonanza G36 aircraft, which took off from runway 09R at the Miami Executive Airport. The departure roll was smooth, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 88 kt, covering a distance of 372 meters, which was 20% of the runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24 °C and a headwind of 9 kt at 80 °.
As the aircraft flew over the city of Country Walk, it started its enroute level cruise, which lasted less than a minute and covered less than a mile. This was a brief period of steady flight before the aircraft began its ascent. The enroute climb started over Country Walk and ended at an altitude of 10,383 ft, a gain of 10,090 ft in 14 minutes and covering 36 miles.
The aircraft then flew level cruise over North Lauderdale, lasting 5 minutes and covering 15 miles. This was followed by an enroute climb from 11,148 ft to 13,347 ft, an increase of 2,199 ft in 5 minutes and covering 14 miles. After this ascent, the aircraft flew level cruise over Palm Beach, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb over Mangonia Park, reaching an altitude of 14,061 ft, a gain of 497 ft in 2 minutes and covering 4 miles. This was followed by a level cruise over North Palm Beach, lasting 14 minutes and covering 37 miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, an enroute descent began 2 miles north of White City, with the aircraft descending from 13,775 ft to 1,658 ft, a decrease of 12,117 ft in 16 minutes and covering 37 miles.
After this descent, the aircraft entered its final approach to runway 09R at the Melbourne Orlando International Airport from the west, heading 87.0 ° at 4 miles and 1,195 ft above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 459 meters and a speed of 77 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -103 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 5 minutes and covering less than a mile. The total flight distance was 162 miles, which took 79 minutes and used 43 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight was a smooth and efficient operation, with the aircraft performing well in various weather conditions.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (KMLB) on runway 09R, achieving a score of 97.8%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,195 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude above the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 87 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more aggressively, resulting in a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 459 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase.
However, the touchdown speed of 77 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -103 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot was able to absorb the impact of touchdown effectively. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 43°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and achieve a smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,022 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and landing.
