See Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Lifted off at 82 kt with 4.9° 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.

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 circuit to KBFL 30R

Left-hand, 1,000 ft circuit height. The plan shows your circuit over a textbook one for this runway; the profile unrolls the same path from liftoff to the threshold.

Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 1.4 nm out at 145 kt

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

Around the circuit height and bank; the turns are shaded

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

Off heading: 11° from the leg's heading on average.

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Off heading: 10° from the leg's heading on average.

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Overshot: went 400 m through the centreline turning final.

Overshooting final. A tailwind component on base sweeps you through the extended centreline, the instinctive correction is to steepen the bank and, when that's not enough, to skid the turn with rudder. In a real aircraft this is the base-to-final stall-spin scenario that kills people. The sim under-punishes it, because a spring yoke transmits no lightening of control force, there's no buffet through your hands, and no seat-of-the-pants sensation of the skid. You get the numbers of the skidded turn without the feel of it. The correct response is the same in both worlds and needs practising until it's reflexive. Don't steepen past 30 degrees, and if you've blown through the centreline, go around and reset.

The approach to KBFL 30R

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 2.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 440 ft below 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, 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 400 m right of the centreline at 2.4 nm, then inside it from 1.6 to 0.5 nm, then 17 m left of it from 0.5 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 2.4 nm, where the final began, to 1.3 nm, then slow to 0.7 nm (up to −9 kt), then inside the band to 0.4 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −13 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 crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, 4° of bank.

Wind 224° at 3 kt · 0 kt tail · 0 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 57 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 10 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 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 27 ft, 23 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 279 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.

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 1,524 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 360 fpm at 25 ft to 70 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.3° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Pesim FPV Drone Racer taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a journey that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The drone then took off from runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field, with a takeoff distance of 406 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The drone then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 30R, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 30 seconds.

As the drone continued its pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 30R, which it navigated in 36 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The drone then proceeded to the downwind turn, which required a distance of 3 nautical miles and an angle of 88.7 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself took 58 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The drone then turned onto the base leg, which required a distance of 3 nautical miles and an angle of 47.9 degrees to the runway. The base leg took 82 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final turn, which brought the drone onto the final approach, took just 24 seconds to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 30R was made from the southeast, with a heading of 306.0 degrees and an altitude of 373 feet above ground level. The drone then landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 276 meters, which was 20% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 58 knots, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -72 feet per minute.

However, the drone's landing was not without some issues, as it touched down significantly off-centerline, 16.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 224 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 456 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.9 meters from the centerline.

Despite some minor issues with alignment, the drone's landing was otherwise successful, and it used a total of 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight took approximately 9 minutes to complete.
