Detailed flight reports: your flight, measured against the runway Detailed flight reports: your flight, measured against the runway

Your flight, measured against the runway. Every flight you fly with CAVacars 2 now gets a detailed flight report: your takeoff, approach and landing, stage by stage, with notes on what went well and one tip for next time.

Your flight report card tells you your score. The detailed report shows you where it came from.

What's in it

  • Your flight at a glance: block time, air time, distance flown, cruise level and fuel used, a short write-up of the flight, and every stage from taxi out to taxi in.
  • Takeoff: how far you rolled, how well you held the centreline, and your liftoff and climb-out, drawn against the runway.
  • Approach: were you stable at 1,000 ft and 500 ft? Gear down, on the glidepath, lined up, on speed and not diving for the runway.
  • Landing: your height over the threshold, where you touched down (in the touchdown zone?), how close to the centreline, the last 20 seconds of your flare, and your rollout.
  • What went well, what held you back (with the points it cost) and one tip for your next flight.

The runways come from your own sim, add-on scenery included, so the report shows what you actually flew. Visual circuits and circling approaches aren't marked down for not being lined up early.
