Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 161 kt with 8.6° 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.

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.

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 KSBA 07

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 40 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.

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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at 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

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 128 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 130° at 8 kt · 6 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 124 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 s, an average deceleration of 0.31 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.

Crossed the threshold at 38 ft, 12 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,395 ft in, 395 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 760 fpm at 35 ft to 280 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.0° 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

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 34L at Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC) in Salt Lake City, Utah. The takeoff distance was 5,948 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 319°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of KSLC, rising from an altitude of 5,266 feet above sea level to 35,900 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,634 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 27 miles north of Milford Municipal-Ben and Judy Briscoe Field (KMLF) in Milford, Utah. This phase lasted for 62 minutes and covered a distance of 366 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles northeast of Canyon Country, California, and descended from 35,479 feet above sea level to 20,485 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,995 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Fillmore, California, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The descent phase began again 3 miles southeast of Oak View, California, and the aircraft descended from 20,207 feet above sea level to 12,993 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,214 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southeast of Isla Vista, California, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The descent phase began once more 11 miles southwest of Isla Vista, California, and the aircraft descended from 12,412 feet above sea level to 1,274 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,139 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 07 at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 93.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 6,042 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 141 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 1,397 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -275 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 3,092 feet, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 588 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 121 minutes. The aircraft
