Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep easing the back pressure to let the aircraft settle from 25 ft instead of holding it level.

What happened: The sink was arrested at 25 ft and held there instead of being let down.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: continuous descent through the normal flare band to touchdown

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 84 kt with 7.5° 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.

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.

Plan view the roll down the 2,459 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 7.1 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 19 % 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.

Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.

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.

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.

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

6 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 95 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 140° at 7 kt · 2 kt head · 6 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 95 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 31 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.

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 1,923 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.

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 21 at SEGU José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport. The Cessna 414A aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 85 kt. The takeoff distance was 496 m, which is 20% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 °C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 140 °, resulting in a 6 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north west of Guayaquil. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,009 ft asl to 2,805 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Guayaquil and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nm.

The enroute descent began 3 miles north of Eloy Alfaro, where the aircraft descended from 2,909 ft asl to 2,368 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. This descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 5 miles west of Yaguachi Nuevo and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nm.

As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 21 from the north east, heading 210.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft agl. The landing was made on the runway, which has a length of 2,459 m. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 109 kt. The touchdown point was 332 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was too fast at 95 kt. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -204 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 °C and a wind speed of 5 kt from 140 °, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. The total landing distance was 1,828 m, which is 74% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 44 nm, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 39 kg of fuel during the flight.
