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 first 1,524 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 473 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Václav Havel Airport Prague, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 24, with the aircraft taking off after covering 49% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,800 meters, and the liftoff speed was 175 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 169 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Dobroviz, a town in the Stredocesky kraj region of the Czech Republic, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,261 feet above sea level to 21,554 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,294 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile north of Lipova, a town in the Karlovarsky kraj region of the Czech Republic, where the aircraft descended from 21,711 feet above sea level to 19,462 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,249 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Thiersheim, a town in Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles south east of Pottenstein, a town in Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 19,088 feet above sea level to 2,335 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,753 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10 at Nuremberg Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading at 98.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 10 at Nuremberg Airport, which had a length of 2,693 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 147 knots. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 119 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,398 meters, which was 52% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 142 nautical miles, and the flight took 41 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,003 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) on runway 10, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 98.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evidenced by the good threshold height and threshold speed of 147 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than ideal, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make some adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 119°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were favorable for landing, and the pilots were able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,398 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the pilots demonstrated a strong understanding of the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
