Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

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.

Landing on runway 24 at 0A3 Smithville Mun in the Piper PA-24 Comanche
Landing Score 93.09 %
Landing Summary

Overall, it sounds like your approach phase went well with great heading alignment and slightly below target speed. In the landing phase, the threshold height was too low and the landing flare was poor, but the touchdown phase had excellent touchdown rate and on-target speed with good distance and runway alignment. However, the rollout phase had fair runway alignment.

To improve your next aircraft landing, I recommend focusing on raising the threshold height, improving the landing flare technique, and ensuring consistent runway alignment throughout all phases of the landing. Keep up the good work with maintaining target speed and touchdown rate. Practice makes perfect, so continue to work on these areas to enhance your overall landing performance. You're on the right track!
