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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,807 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 549 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at EHRD Rotterdam The Hague Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,237 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 249 degrees.
The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Overschie, a location in the province of Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 997 feet above sea level to 35,219 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,222 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Salesches, a location in the Hauts-de-France region of France. This phase lasted for 50 minutes and covered a distance of 339 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Meysse, a location in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The descent took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 110 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,475 feet above sea level to 1,468 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,008 feet.
The final approach to runway 05 at LFTH Toulon-Hyères Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 51.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,447 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 1,807 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 149 knots.
The touchdown point was 138 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 209 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,241 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 565 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,613 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Toulon-Hyères Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 51.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,447 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 149 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 138 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 142 kt was slightly faster than the desired speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute, which was deemed fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 9 kt from a direction of 209°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the tailwind component was 8 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,241 meters was 69% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly controlled during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.3%. However, there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing conditions, including a slightly faster touchdown speed and a touchdown point beyond the designated zone.
