A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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.

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.

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 crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 65 kt. Touched down with 4° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 166° at 5 kt · 3 kt head · 4 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 63 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.24 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.

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 618 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at UGSA Natakhtari Airfield, where the DA-50 aircraft took off after covering 63% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 363 meters, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 73 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 150 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot headwind and a 4-knot crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead UGSA Natakhtari Airfield. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,064 feet above sea level to 2,113 feet above sea level, an increase of 49 feet in just 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This climb phase was a smooth and efficient one, allowing the aircraft to reach its desired altitude quickly.

After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 10 at UGMT Nataxtari Airfield, which it approached from the west at a heading of 111.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 408 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of the approach were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 165 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.

The landing itself was a successful one, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 64 knots and a distance of 64 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -374 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.6 meters. The total landing distance was 239 meters, which was 39% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase.

In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of -5 kilograms of fuel, which is a relatively small amount considering the flight distance of 4 nautical miles. The total flight time was 5 minutes, which is a testament to the efficiency of the DA-50 aircraft and the skill of the pilot. Overall, this flight was a successful one, with a smooth takeoff, efficient climb, and a good landing.
