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 2,954 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 18 at KFAR Hector International Airport, located in Fargo, North Dakota, United States. The takeoff distance was 851 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead KFAR Hector International Airport. The climb began at an altitude of 1,911 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 39,027 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,115 feet. This climb phase took 34 minutes and covered a distance of 268 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 3 miles northeast of WS44 Diderrich Ranch Airport, located in Hawkins, Wisconsin, United States. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 1,331 nautical miles over a period of 236 minutes.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from a latitude of 33.8972175 and a longitude of -65.8925524. The descent phase took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 39,264 feet above sea level to 1,157 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,106 feet.
The final approach to runway 30 at TXKF L.F. Wade International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 281.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,124 feet above ground level and 3 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 200 degrees.
The aircraft landed on runway 30, which had a length of 2,954 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 405 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 117 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -200 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,719 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 215 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,937 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at TXKF L.F. Wade International Airport, with a final approach score of 99.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 281.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,124 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 30, which has a length of 2,954 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 405 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 117 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum as it touched down. However, the touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilot was able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,134 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a safe stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
