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 1,608 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 332 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted in a Bonanza G36 aircraft, departing from LFPM Melun-Villaroche Airfield. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, taking 12 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 467 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 199°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Montereau-sur-le-Jard, where it climbed from 567 feet above sea level to 2,889 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,321 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Chevry-Cossigny, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Champigny-sur-Marne, where it descended from 2,681 feet above sea level to 1,534 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,147 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Vincennes, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 1 mile north east of Paris, where it climbed from 1,283 feet above sea level to 6,614 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,331 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Claye-Souilly, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting overhead Coupvray, where it climbed from 7,142 feet above sea level to 9,308 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,167 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead LFPK Coulommiers-Voisins Aerodrome Pommeuse, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 1 mile north east of Meaux, where it climbed from 10,105 feet above sea level to 10,688 feet above sea level, an increase of 582 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Marcilly, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting overhead Silly-le-Long, where it climbed from 10,967 feet above sea level to 11,462 feet above sea level, an increase of 495 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Versigny, lasting 9 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 1 mile south east of Sacy-le-Grand, where it climbed from 12,727 feet above sea level to 14,395 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,668 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north west of Saint-Just-en-Chaussee, lasting 31 minutes and covering 74 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 4 miles west of Dannes, where it descended from 14,614 feet above sea level to 7,846
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at EGMC London Southend Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 234.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 23.
The runway at EGMC London Southend Airport has a length of 1,608 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when crossing the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 78 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
The touchdown distance of 331 meters was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was also good, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -53 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots, which the pilot was able to manage effectively during the landing. Overall, the Bonanza G36 aircraft demonstrated good handling and control during the landing, achieving a high score and a safe touchdown.
