Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,833 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Microsoft Aircraft PA-28-236 Dakota, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RKSG Camp Humphreys (A-511) Desiderio Army Airfield. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Once at the runway, the aircraft took off from runway 14, with a takeoff distance of 160 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 61 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead RKSG Camp Humphreys (A-511) Desiderio Army Airfield. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 843 feet above sea level to 2,103 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,260 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles east of RKSG Camp Humphreys (A-511) Desiderio Army Airfield. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 2 miles northeast of RKSG Camp Humphreys (A-511) Desiderio Army Airfield. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,462 feet above sea level to 744 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,718 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at RKSG Camp Humphreys (A-511) Desiderio Army Airfield was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 128.0 degrees at an altitude of 675 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 14, which had a length of 1,833 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 78 knots.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 52 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 130 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 791 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes, during which the aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, a Microsoft-simulated PA28-236 Dakota, successfully landed on runway 14 at RKSG Camp Humphreys (A-511) Desiderio Army Airfield with a score of 94.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 128.0° at 1 nautical mile and 675 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course as it descended towards the runway, ultimately touching down on the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 52 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also perfect, with a descent rate of -46 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 130°.
The crosswind component was negligible, with a value of 0 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. This headwind component likely contributed to the aircraft's slightly above-target threshold speed of 78 knots. The touchdown point was located 101 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the expected landing point.
The total landing distance was 791 meters, accounting for 43% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
