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 3,251 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 281 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the DA40-NG started with a departure roll on runway 17 at LTBL Çiğli Airport with a takeoff distance of 181 meters, which was 6% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 73 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 16°C with a 1 knot wind coming from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft started climbing 1 mile south of LTBL Çiğli Airport, ascending from 422 feet above sea level to 1,788 feet above sea level. The climb took 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the enroute level cruise began 3 miles southeast of LTBL Çiğli Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The flight concluded with a landing on runway 16R at LTBJ Adnan Menderes International Airport, with a runway length of 3,251 meters. The height at the threshold was 43 feet above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 64 knots. The touchdown occurred 279 meters from the threshold at a speed of 50 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -144 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 15°C with a 1 knot wind coming from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The total landing distance was 666 meters, which was 20% of the runway length.
After landing, taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, taking 17 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Congratulations on a job well done with a landing score of 96.9%! Let's break down the different phases of the aircraft landing to see what went right and what can still be improved upon.
During the Approach Phase, your performance was commendable with excellent glideslope alignment. This is crucial in ensuring a safe and smooth descent towards the runway. However, it was noted that your speed was a little below target. This could potentially be improved upon by fine-tuning your approach speed control to ensure a more precise and consistent landing speed.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you showcased great skill with a good threshold height and perfect landing flare. The landing flare is vital for transitioning from descent to touchdown smoothly, and you executed this flawlessly. Your touchdown phase was also impressive, with a smooth touchdown rate and on-target speed. The fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone is a testament to your precision and control during this crucial phase of the landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off, with the aircraft positioned 9.1 meters from the centerline. This suggests a minor deviation in direction during the rollout phase. It may be beneficial to focus on improving your runway alignment and centerline tracking to ensure a more precise landing and taxiing experience.
Overall, you should be proud of your performance during this landing. Your attention to detail and skillful execution in key landing phases is evident in the high score achieved. With some minor adjustments and continued practice, there is no doubt that you will continue to improve and achieve even better results in future landings. Keep up the great work!
