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 six 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 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 286 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL), with a takeoff distance of 1,061 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 25 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Düsseldorf Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 23,007 feet above sea level (asl) in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The climb involved an increase of 21,881 feet in altitude.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Engelskirchen, Germany, and involved a decrease of 18,018 feet in altitude from 23,008 feet asl to 4,990 feet asl in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Hofheim am Taunus, Germany, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase resumed, starting overhead Appenheim, Germany, and involved a decrease of 3,443 feet in altitude from 4,993 feet asl to 1,550 feet asl in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,200 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 07L at EDDF was successful, with a touchdown distance of 287 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 68°. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 980 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 178 nautical miles, which was covered in 53 minutes, and the aircraft used 747 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 99.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,200 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a threshold speed of 117 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was evaluated, and it was noted that the touchdown speed of 113 knots was slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown distance of 287 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled. The touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have benefited from a slightly more gradual descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 68°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's good threshold height and touchdown speed. The runway length of 2,795 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 980 meters, which accounted for only 35% of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was deemed perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
