See Departure Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 86 kt with 3.3° 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 473 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,560 ft of runway left; then climbing at 710 fpm on average to 473 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 322 ft in, drifted 6 ft right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 45 % 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 approach to KRDU 05R

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 3.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 830 ft above 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, 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.

Joined 9,080 ft right of the centreline at 3.8 nm, then inside the band from 1.3 nm to the threshold.

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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 3.8 nm, where the final began, to 1.4 nm, then fast to 0.7 nm (up to +48 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 078° at 5 kt · 4 kt head · 2 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 60 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 42 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 16 ft, 34 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,679 ft in, 679 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 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 300 fpm at 14 ft to 170 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.6° 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.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,500 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 6 ft of it down the rollout.

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 began with the Pesim FPV Drone Racer taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the drone taking off after covering 41% of the runway, which was 2,042 feet. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.

As the drone climbed out of KSFZ, it encountered local weather conditions of 78°F temperature and a 1-knot wind at 139°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was zero. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport and took the drone from 940 feet above sea level to 8,196 feet, an increase of 7,257 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the drone entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile north of Coventry, Rhode Island. This phase of the flight lasted 74 minutes and covered a distance of 488 nautical miles. The drone then began its enroute descent 2 miles south of Cary, North Carolina, and descended from 8,159 feet to 871 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 05R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport took place from the southwest, with the drone heading at 42.0° at 1 nautical mile and 467 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with the drone touching down 230 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 63 knots, and the touchdown rate was -169 feet per minute, both of which were good.

The local weather conditions at KRDU were 79°F temperature and a 5-knot wind at 77°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 4,639 feet, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 513 nautical miles, took 92 minutes, and used 181 pounds of fuel.
