Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 83 kt with 5.4° of pitch.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 455 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 627 m of runway left; then climbing at 710 fpm on average to 455 ft.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 823 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 3.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.3 m right. Airborne 60 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

How to read this

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.

The approach to LPPR 35

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 90 ft below the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 1.8 nm, never more than 252 m off the centreline.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 068° at 1 kt · 0 kt head · 1 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

The stop

From 68 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 46 s, an average deceleration of 0.04 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 25 ft, 25 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 389 m in, 84 m past the ideal 305 m.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 230 fpm at 23 ft to 40 fpm at 1 ft, then back up to 180 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.8° on the way down.

How to read this

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

How to read this

The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The flight in the Douglas DC-3 started with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at LEVX Vigo Airport, taking 8 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll was from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 603 m (25% of the runway). The liftoff speed was 84 kn. The local weather showed a temperature of 12 °C, with a wind speed of 5 kn at 20 ° resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 5 kn.

The enroute climb began 1 mile north of LEVX Vigo Airport, climbing from 1,347 ft asl to 3,728 ft asl in 4 minutes, covering 8 nm. The level cruise started 2 miles south of Porrino and lasted 9 minutes, covering 16 nm. The descent phase began 3 miles south of Rubiais, descending from 3,740 ft asl to 2,938 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 5 nm. Another level cruise followed, starting 3 miles southwest of Ponte de Lima, lasting 8 minutes and covering 15 nm. The next descent phase occurred overhead Barqueiros, descending from 3,107 ft asl to 1,674 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 5 nm. A final level cruise started overhead Amorim, lasting 9 minutes and covering 12 nm.

The final approach to runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport came from the south, heading 351.0 ° at 1 nm and 457 ft agl. The landing on runway 35 was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 387 m, a touchdown speed of 67 kn, and a good touchdown rate of -182 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,184 m, 39% of the runway, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. The local weather at the airport showed a temperature of 14 °C, with a light wind. After landing, taxiing back to the parking area took 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the total flight distance was 67 nm, taking a total of 41 minutes and using 142 kg of fuel. The flight in the Douglas DC-3 was efficient and successful, with smooth operations from takeoff to landing.
