Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

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.

Landing Summary

The Aircraft Velocity XL successfully landed at YPDN Darwin International Airport / RAAF Darwin, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 109.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, ensuring a good threshold height and maintaining a suitable threshold speed of 83 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 393 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 64 knots. This indicates a smooth and controlled descent, as the touchdown speed was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 24 feet off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a moderate wind of 11 knots at 139°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.

The total landing distance of 2,790 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for only 25% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a safe and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the Aircraft Velocity XL's landing at YPDN Darwin International Airport / RAAF Darwin was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and landing.
