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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cotswold Airport, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 57 kt in a distance of 224 m, which accounted for 14% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from the west.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from 572 ft above sea level to 617 ft in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. Following this brief climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 3 nm. The enroute climb and cruise phases were conducted from the same location, overhead Cotswold Airport Kemble.

Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent onto runway 08, aligning with the runway heading of 76.0°. However, a go-around was initiated at 40 ft above ground level, and the aircraft subsequently landed on the same runway, touching down at a speed of 29 kt and a distance of 263 m. The touchdown rate was a perfect -17 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was also satisfactory. The total flight distance was 5 nm, and the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, which lasted 5 minutes.
