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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 463 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 27 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (VABB) in Mumbai, India. The takeoff distance was 1,098 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 33°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb began overhead Juhu Aerodrome (VAJJ) in Mumbai, where the aircraft ascended from 1,053 feet above sea level to 39,429 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,376 feet in 38 minutes, covering a distance of 263 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 23 miles southwest of Khambhaliya Airport (VAKM) in Gujarat, India, and lasted for 155 minutes, covering a distance of 1,100 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 23 miles northwest of Na'in Airport (OIND) in Isfahan Province, Iran, where it descended from 40,136 feet above sea level to 4,534 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,602 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29R at Imam Khomeini International Airport (OIIE) was made from the east, heading 289.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -61 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 983 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,513 nautical miles, which was covered in 222 minutes, using 8,899 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at OIIE Imam Khomeini International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 29R was executed from the east, with the aircraft heading 289.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 47 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, allowing the pilots to focus on maintaining a stable approach. The absence of any significant headwind also contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 983 meters was only 23% of the available runway length, which is a testament to the pilots' skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and ensured a safe and stable taxiing process.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilots demonstrating exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft's performance was also impressive, with a smooth and controlled touchdown and a short landing distance.
