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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 992 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 284 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 approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 34 at LIRJ Marina Di Campo Airport, with a takeoff distance of 532 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 9°C and wind speeds of 7 knots at 19°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started overhead LIRJ Marina Di Campo Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 302 feet above sea level to 9,370 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,068 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 6 miles northwest of Piombino, Italy, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Papozze, Italy, descending from 9,360 feet above sea level to 962 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,397 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile northeast of Pellestrina, Italy, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield was made from the northeast, heading 236.0° at 0 nautical miles and 123 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 283 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 84 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was fair at -235 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 9°C and wind speeds of 4 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 657 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 186 nautical miles, taking 62 minutes, and the aircraft used 135 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an M500, successfully landed at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, with a final approach from the north east. The pilot's approach was well-executed, with a heading of 236.0° at 0 nm and 123 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 992 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touchdown. The threshold speed of 93 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 84 kt was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -235 fpm was fair, but not ideal. A lower touchdown rate would have been preferable to minimize the impact on the aircraft's landing gear and to reduce the risk of damage. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 4 kt from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 657 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and touchdown. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, which may be addressed in future training or practice sessions.
