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 611 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 109 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

The local weather at the time was 3 °C with a wind speed of 8 kn coming from 238 °, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 8 kn.
During the departure climb, the aircraft reached 50 ft agl, then climbed to 400 ft agl, and finally to 1,000 ft agl from runway 24 at KERI Erie International Tom Ridge Field. The enroute climb began overhead KERI Erie International Tom Ridge Field, climbing from 1,157 ft asl to 5,498 ft asl in 5 minutes, covering 5 nm.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Avonia in Pennsylvania and lasted 9 minutes, covering 108 nm. The descent began overhead Bathurst Manor in Ontario, descending from 5,358 ft asl to 1,901 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering 11 nm.
The final approach to runway 09 at CNU8 Toronto Markham Airport from the west at 4 nm and 1,089 ft agl was successful. The landing on runway 09 at CNU8 Toronto Markham Airport had a good threshold height and alignment. The touchdown distance was 107 m with a speed of 43 kn and a touchdown rate of -204 ft/m.
The total landing distance was 228 m, which was 37% of the runway length, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. Upon exiting the runway, the average speed was 3 kn. The taxiing back to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the total flight distance was 128 nm, the flight duration was 30 minutes, and 89 lbs of fuel were used. The flight was executed successfully with smooth takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing phases.
