Keep the taxi smooth

See Departure Taxi

Turn speed is limited by lateral load on the tyres and the people in the back, and lateral acceleration goes with the square of speed. On an illustrative 25 m turn radius, 10 kt produces about 0.11 g of side load, while 20 kt produces about 0.43 g. Doubling the speed quadruples the load. That square law is the entire content of the "10 knots in turns" rule, and it tells you why a slightly-too-fast turn feels fine and a moderately-too-fast one throws the cabin crew across the galley.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 136 kt with 8.9° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 158 kt target, at 162 kt on average.

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 921 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 904 m of runway left; gear up at 57 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,040 fpm on average to 921 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 3,132 m runway.

Rolled from 89 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 2.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.3 m left. Airborne 62 % 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 stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

When the approach was stable

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.

The approach to KVNY 16R

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3.5° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 40 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: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −2 kt and +13 kt on the approach speed of 118 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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 139° at 3 kt · 2 kt head · 1 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 111 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 43 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 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.

Began the flare at 42 ft, 108 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 23 ft, 27 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 320 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 670 fpm at the flare to 110 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.1° 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 RJ85 departed Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 6 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. Departure roll from runway 25R commenced, with a takeoff distance of 1,964 meters, accounting for 63% of the runway. Liftoff speed was achieved at 137 knots, as the aircraft overcame the local weather conditions, including a temperature of 43°C, wind at 7 knots from 245°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.

As the RJ85 climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb over Central City, Arizona, increasing from 2,095 feet above sea level to 2,862 feet in less than 1 minute, covering 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then transitioned to level cruise 1 mile south of Phoenix, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. A subsequent enroute climb from 3,157 feet to 29,670 feet, an increase of 26,513 feet, took 25 minutes and covered 148 nautical miles. The RJ85 then began its descent 9 miles east of Desert Center, California, decreasing from 29,688 feet to 10,140 feet in 20 minutes and covering 117 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, eventually beginning its final approach to runway 16R at Van Nuys Airport from the north.

The RJ85 landed on runway 16R, with a touchdown distance of 322 meters, a touchdown speed of 108 knots, and a smooth touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 884 meters, accounting for 44% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking, taking 5 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 343 nautical miles, taking 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,562 kilograms of fuel.
