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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Bonanza G36, then departed from runway 17 at LFRD Dinard-Pleurtuit-Saint-Malo Airport. The takeoff distance was 597 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 101 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and 6 knots of wind at 120°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Pleurtuit, where the aircraft climbed from 513 feet above sea level to 12,451 feet, an increase of 11,938 feet in 13 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Hudimesnil and lasted 7 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 13,112 feet to 16,063 feet, an increase of 2,951 feet in 5 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead La Bloutiere and lasted 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a descent from 16,060 feet to 11,157 feet, a decrease of 4,903 feet in 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Saint-Paul-du-Vernay and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent from 10,533 feet to 3,000 feet, a decrease of 7,533 feet in 9 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of Benerville-sur-Mer and lasted 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04 at LFOH Le Havre-Octeville Airport was from the southwest, heading 43.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,495 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 415 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 75 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and 10 knots of wind at 110°, with a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 952 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 125 nautical miles, and the flight used 29 kilograms of fuel.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at Le Havre-Octeville Airport (LFOH) with a score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 43.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,495 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 2,284 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was above the target at 87 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft earlier, resulting in a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 415 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 75 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout. The touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 10 knots at 110°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 952 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control over the aircraft's descent, touchdown, and rollout. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired performance, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the pilot's technique.
