See Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Lifted off at 54 kt with 6.4° 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.

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 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 crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 251° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 0 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 52 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 10 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 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.

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 250 fpm at 9 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.6° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at EGAL Langford Lodge Air Base, where the aircraft, a PA28 Archer II, successfully took off in 433 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 54 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 260°.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the entry turn in less than 1 nautical mile in just 17 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, taking only 8 seconds to complete. The pilot's skill and control were evident throughout the pattern, with precise turns and a smooth flight path.

The downwind turn was executed at an angle of 86.1° to the runway, and the downwind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The base leg turn was made at an angle of 80.2°, and the base leg itself was completed in 9 seconds. The final turn was also completed in under 1 nautical mile in 9 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach.

The final approach was made to runway 20 from the north-east, with a heading of 204.0° and an altitude of 30.3 meters above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 52 knots and a touchdown distance of 304 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -0.4 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance was 522 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The flight was completed in just 3 minutes, covering a total distance of 4 nautical miles and using only 1 kilogram of fuel. Overall, the flight was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, with a smooth and controlled flight from takeoff to landing.
