Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 81 kt with 5.9° 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. 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 936 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 550 m of runway left; then climbing at 820 fpm on average to 936 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

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 approach to LESA 21

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 60 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 17× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 21 m off the centreline.

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.

The crosswind

6 kt across from the left, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 68 kt. Touched down with the nose 9° into wind, 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 31 ft, 19 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 310 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 29 ft to 130 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.7° 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.

Touched down 17 m right of the centreline, and steered back to 5.3 m left by the end of the rollout.

How to read this

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 in the Douglas DC-3 began with a 14-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport. The departure roll on runway 17 covered 746 meters of the 25% of the runway length available. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 82 knots, with a temperature of 12°C and no significant wind.

The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Senhora da Hora, climbing from 1,152 feet above sea level to 10,674 feet, covering 19 nautical miles in 12 minutes. The level cruise portion of the flight began over Perafita and lasted 41 minutes, covering 119 nautical miles.

Descent commenced 1 mile west of Madridanos, descending from 10,895 feet to 9,869 feet over 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The next level cruise phase began 1 mile southeast of Peleagonzalo for 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. Descend started 2 miles east of Villabuena del Puente descending from 9,340 feet to 4,315 feet on 4 minutes covering 13 nm and the next level cruise segment began overhead Canizal and lasted 6 minutes, covering 10 nm.

For the final approach to runway 21 at LESA Salamanca Airport, the aircraft approached from the northeast at 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21 at LESA Salamanca Airport was smooth, with a good threshold height and touchdown speed of 68 knots. However, the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,030 meters, with a slight misalignment of 17.2 meters from the centerline during runway rollout.

Taxiing back to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 185 nautical miles, lasting 83 minutes and consuming 335 kilograms of fuel.
