Smooth the climb
Enroute Climb scored 47.65 % — GPWS warning, then 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; bank angle up to 162.7 ° at 0 %, g force -0.07 to 5.63 g at 0 % was the weak point. Fixed, this flight scores 98.26 %.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 72 kt with 11.6° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 365 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 7,093 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,000 fpm on average to 365 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.
Plan view the roll down the 9,858 ft runway.
Rolled from 2,062 ft in, never more than 3 ft off the centreline. Airborne 22 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 0.3 nm, about 110 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 300 ft gate.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 2.7° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
High from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.4 nm (up to 720 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 2.7° here, which is about 290 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 8× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 0.8 nm, never more than 150 ft off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 23 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 14 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.3 nm (up to +38 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Perfect landing flare
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 170° at 6 kt · 6 kt head · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 20 ft, 30 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 474 ft in, 526 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 440 fpm at 18 ft to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.9° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,858 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 6 ft of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 474 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.09 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
The Horten Ho229 aircraft departed from runway 15 at Kurumoch International Airport, UWWW, with a takeoff distance of 194 feet, which accounted for 2% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 73 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 46 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 159 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 540 feet above sea level from an initial altitude of 1,003 feet. This climb was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft's climb performance was impressive, with a vertical gain of 464 feet in a short period of time.
The final approach to runway 15 was made from the north, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 160.0 degrees at an altitude of 110 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 73 knots and a touchdown rate of -144 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 470 feet, which was well within the acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The landing distance, including the rollout, was 1,057 feet, which accounted for 11% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 32 pounds of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft performing well in the given weather conditions.
