The key to flying is energy management. The airplane needs power to stay up (generate lift) and to maintain speed (overcome drag). That power comes from three stores of energy: You have enough energy in your speed to keep flying a few seconds, in your altitude for a few minutes, and in your fuel tank for a few hours. Your takeoff roll tops up your speed in a few seconds; you spend a few minutes climbing to altitude. As long as your engine is working, this is straightforward.

Everyone plays within clearly defined boundaries, with the same set of inputs. The most skilled wins.
