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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,461 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,461 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 181 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 208B taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at EDMA Augsburg Airport in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 72 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 368 m, which represented 26 % of the runway; local conditions were 29 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 250°, a headwind component of 12 kt and no crosswind.
The climb began overhead EDMA, climbing from 2,110 ft asl to 8,844 ft asl, an altitude gain of 6,735 ft achieved in 9 minutes while covering 21 nm.
Level cruise commenced over Jesenwang and continued for 38 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 101 nm.
Descent started 1 mile north-east of Castelrotto, descending from 8,344 ft asl to 1,148 ft asl, a loss of 7,196 ft in 6 minutes and covering 13 nm.
The final approach to runway 19 at LIPB Bolzano Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 192.0°, intercepting the approach at 1 nm and 360 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19, which is 1,461 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 75 kt; touchdown was recorded 180 m down the runway at a speed of 70 kt, a vertical rate of minus 111 fpm, and a lateral offset of 7.5 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 29 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 180°, a headwind component of 5 kt and a crosswind of 1 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 543 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 9.2 m during the roll.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 138 nm, took 62 minutes, and consumed 159 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 208B approached runway 19 at LIPB Bolzano Airport from the north on a heading of 192.0° while 1 NM out and 360 ft AGL, with ambient temperature 29 °C, a wind from 180° at 5 kt, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was recorded as too high at 75 kt.
Touchdown occurred 180 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 70 kt described as fast, a smooth vertical rate of minus 111 fpm, and a touchdown point slightly off the centreline by 7.5 m. The total landing distance was 543 m, representing 37 % of the 1 461 m runway length.
Rollout alignment was slightly off the centreline by 9.2 m.
To improve future performance, reduce the approach speed to bring the threshold speed within the target range and refine the flare to achieve a lower touchdown speed, which will also help tighten alignment on touchdown and rollout. The 94.9 % score indicates the overall landing was strong, with only minor refinements needed.
