Maintain a smooth pitch

See Departure Roll

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 69 kt with 3.1° 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.

Reached 35 ft at the runway end; then climbing at 1,080 fpm on average to 357 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.

Rolled from 80 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.3 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.4 m left. Airborne 54 % 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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way, high until 0.7 nm, banked until 0.6 nm, no landing flap until 0.5 nm and left of the centreline until 0.2 nm.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

The approach to EDLA 23

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

High from 1.0 nm, where the final began, to 0.7 nm (up to 280 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.0 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +40 kt).

How to read this

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.

The flare96.00

Excellent landing flare. It lost 4.0 points, for the nose going up and down 7 times.

The crosswind

5 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 54 kt. Touched down with the nose 7° into wind, wings level.

Wind 346° at 7 kt · 3 kt tail · 5 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 65 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 14 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 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 910 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 120 fpm before coming down at 150 fpm to touch. The nose came up 4.3° 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.

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

Departing from Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield, the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche began its departure roll on runway 24, covering 60% of the 604-meter runway in a distance of 364 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 69 knots, overcoming the minimal headwind of 0 knots and the slight crosswind of 3 knots.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 1,021 feet above sea level to 2,744 feet, a vertical gain of 1,723 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase then commenced, with the aircraft descending from 3,069 feet to 1,502 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered the final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 23 at Arnsberg-Menden Airfield from the northeast.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche touched down on runway 23 at a speed of 54 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 291 meters was within acceptable limits, covering 67% of the 910-meter runway. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also slightly off, deviating by 15.2 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, with a fuel consumption of 9 kilograms.
