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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,367 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 637 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Clinton Regional Airport, taking 15 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 17, with a takeoff distance of 602 feet, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 73 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 56°F temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at 159 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 24 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Clinton Regional Airport, where it ascended from 1,878 feet above sea level to 2,343 feet, an increase of 465 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 8 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 5 miles north of Canute, Oklahoma, where it ascended from 2,268 feet to 2,823 feet, an increase of 554 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 17 at Elk City Regional Business Airport, coming in from the north at a heading of 183.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles away and 1,090 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 59°F temperature and a wind speed of 20 knots at 169 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 17, with a touchdown distance of 629 feet, which was 19% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 31 nautical miles, taking 30 minutes, and used 24 pounds of fuel. The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft performed well throughout the flight, demonstrating its capabilities and handling characteristics.
The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft successfully landed at KELK Elk City Regional Business Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 17 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,090 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 72 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 629 feet. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent.
Despite the slightly high touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 20 knots from 169°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 993 feet was only 19% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
