Flight Score
Departure
Smooth your control inputs during the roll and rotation, easing the controls rather than snatching them, to keep the g force steady.
What happened: Abrupt control inputs during the ground roll produced 0.3 g on the g meter, and this kind of rough handling usually carries into the initial climb, showing up as 0.3 g in Climb 1 and larger excursions of 0.4 g in Climb 2.
Watch for: G meter: a smooth, steady reading through the roll and into 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.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,114 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Newcastle Airport, EGNT, where the aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 88 kt. The takeoff distance was 79 m, which accounted for only 4% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it made a smooth entry from runway 25, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in just 29 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in an impressive 18 seconds, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 59.8 ° to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long and took 68 seconds to complete.
The base leg turn was made at an angle of 46.8 ° to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nm. The base leg itself was less than 1 nm long and took 26 seconds to complete. The final turn was made in less than 1 nm in 30 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach to runway 25.
The final approach was made from the north-east, heading 241.0 °, at an altitude of 187 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the runway. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 58 kt, with a touchdown distance of 387 m. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed of 81 kt, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -16 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing.
The total landing distance was 631 m, which accounted for only 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout. The total flight distance was 7 nm, which was completed in 6 minutes, and the aircraft used 2 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled maneuvers, with a good landing performance in challenging weather conditions.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGNT Newcastle Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 241.0° at 1 nautical mile and 187 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady heading and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 2,114 meters. The threshold height was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 80 kt, which may indicate a slight delay in the pilot's touchdown decision.
The touchdown distance of 387 meters was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and avoided any excessive deceleration. The touchdown speed of 58 kt was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down smoothly. The touchdown rate of -16 fpm was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt, which the pilot successfully managed. The total landing distance of 631 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and avoided any excessive deceleration.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
