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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 105 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 14 at LFLE Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux Airfield, where the Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 535 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 70 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Challes-les-Eaux, ascending from an altitude of 1,256 feet above sea level to 1,876 feet above sea level, an increase of 620 feet in just 1 minute, while covering less than 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 3.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 641 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 104 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 47 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -140 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes, during which the aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was successful, with a smooth and controlled climb, cruise, and descent, and a good landing performance.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 641 feet above ground level. This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 50 knots, registering at 47 knots. This indicates that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed to achieve a safe and controlled landing. The touchdown distance of 104 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a precise location on the runway.
The landing rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -140 feet per minute, which is a testament to the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's altitude and speed during the final stages of the approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained the aircraft's heading and alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a headwind of 10 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 2 knots, which further contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing. The total landing distance of 511 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase, ensuring a safe and controlled deceleration. Overall, this landing demonstrates the pilot's exceptional skills and expertise in navigating the Cessna Skyhawk to a safe and controlled touchdown at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport.
