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 Score 97.28 %
Landing Summary

Overall, the aircraft landing score of 97.3% is a fantastic result, indicating a very successful and well-executed landing.

During the Approach Phase, the pilot displayed excellent skill in maintaining the correct glideslope alignment, ensuring a smooth descent towards the runway. Although the speed was slightly below the target, it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's threshold height, allowing for a precise and timely flare during the landing. The firm touchdown rate suggests a confident and controlled approach, while maintaining the correct landing speed further demonstrates the pilot's proficiency.

In the Touchdown Phase, the pilot managed to land within the touchdown zone with an impressive 2.7m distance from the centreline, showcasing precise positioning and alignment. This level of accuracy is crucial for a safe and effective landing.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off at 6.0m from the centreline. While this may be a minor deviation, it is still important to strive for precise alignment to ensure a smooth taxiing and exit from the runway.

Overall, the pilot should be commended for their skillful handling of the aircraft during the landing process. With consistent practice and attention to detail, they can continue to improve and strive for even higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the excellent work!
