From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 81 kt with 8.8° of pitch.
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 takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 310 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 605 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,370 fpm on average to 310 ft.
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.
Plan view the roll down the 2,181 ft runway.
Rolled from 316 ft in, drifted 16 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 8 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 43 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
High from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm (up to 240 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft 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 4× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 340 ft left of the centreline at 0.8 nm, then inside the band from 0.5 nm to the threshold.
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.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +33 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 086° at 7 kt · 7 kt head · 0 kt across
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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 14 ft, 36 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 699 ft in, 301 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.
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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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 270 fpm at 12 ft to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.2° on the way down.
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.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,632 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 7 ft of it down the rollout.
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 699 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.12 G arrival bounced 2 times.
The rest of the report
This flight involved a unique aircraft, the Horten Ho229, which began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at 2WN7 Planeacres Airport. The taxiing process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to depart from runway 36, with a takeoff distance of 715 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 81 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 9 knots at 73°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute level cruise began overhead 2WN7 Planeacres Airport, Fisk, Wisconsin, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The flight then transitioned to a final approach to runway 09 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, coming in from the west at a heading of 88.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 133 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 366 feet agl. Another go-around was performed at 210 feet agl.
After the second go-around, the aircraft successfully landed on runway 09 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, which had a length of 5,632 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 97 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 696 feet, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 79 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -95 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 85°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,605 feet, accounting for 28% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 114 pounds of fuel during the flight.
