Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, Pioneer, began its takeoff roll on runway 23. The aircraft accelerated smoothly, reaching liftoff speed of 39 kt in a relatively short distance of 223 m, which accounted for just 9% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 21 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally swift, taking 22 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a consistent angle of 45 degrees to the runway, and subsequently flew the downwind leg, covering a distance of 2 nm in 51 seconds. The base leg turn was executed smoothly, with the aircraft aligning itself for a precise final approach. The approach was made from the north-east, at a heading of 231.0°, and at an altitude of 454 ft above ground level.

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, Pioneer, touched down on runway 23 with precision, achieving a touchdown speed of 22 kt and a touchdown rate of -96 fpm, which is considered excellent. The total landing distance was 306 m, accounting for just 12% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by its fuel efficiency, using only 1 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 7 nm in 6 minutes.
