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

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a small airport located in the Highland region of Scotland. The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft, a single-engine training plane, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 65 kt. The takeoff distance was 1,061 meters, which is 59% of the runway's total length.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a gentle wind of 1 kt from the west. The climb was initiated overhead the airport, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 363 ft above sea level to 397 ft, an increase of 34 ft over a period of 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nm.

The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at 49.0° and at an altitude of 367 ft above ground level. The approach was made at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 38 kt. The touchdown point was 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -69 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from the west.

The total landing distance was 859 meters, which is 47% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft. The total flight distance was 4 nm, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, suggesting a highly efficient operation.

Landing report
Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Piper PA-38 Tomahawk
Landing Score 95.62 %
Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 95.6%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 49.0° at 1 nautical mile and 367 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, considering the aircraft's position and altitude in relation to the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 38 knots was well within the target range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -69 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and stability during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind, which contributed to the smoothness of the landing. The runway length of 1,814 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 859 meters, which accounted for only 47% of the runway.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 95.6%.
