From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 82 kt with 4.6° of pitch.
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 takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 243 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 130 ft of runway left.
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.
Plan view the roll down the 1,311 ft runway.
Rolled from 165 ft in, never more than 4 ft off the centreline. Airborne 57 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
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 final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 60 ft below the slope.
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.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 4× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 1.1 nm, never more than 350 ft off the centreline.
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 all the way, between +1 kt and +17 kt on the approach speed of 80 kt.
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.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 277° at 6 kt · 6 kt head · 0 kt across
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.
From 71 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 10 s, an average deceleration of 0.22 g.
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.
Side view — the last 1,311 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 5 ft, 45 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 230 ft in, 770 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.
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 1,311 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 350 fpm at 5 ft to 110 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.
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.
Plan view — the full 1,311 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 13 ft left at the widest.
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 230 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Velocity XL aircraft departed from the UKOA Marino Airstrip, rolling down runway 26. The takeoff distance covered 613 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 82 knots, marking the beginning of its journey.
As the aircraft gained altitude, it transitioned into a level cruise, flying overhead the Konakovo (Tverskaya Oblast', Russia) area. This enroute phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent, heading towards the UKOA Marino Airstrip from the east.
The final approach to runway 26 was executed at a height of 233 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft maintained a heading of 267.0°, aligning perfectly with the runway. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 77 knots and a rate of -107 feet per minute (fpm).
The touchdown distance was 229 feet, which was well within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a precise and controlled landing. The aircraft then rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance covered 987 feet, accounting for 75% of the runway's length.
The local weather conditions during the landing remained consistent, with a temperature of 44°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 277°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total flight distance of 2 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 3 pounds. The entire flight lasted for 3 minutes, showcasing the Velocity XL's agility and efficiency.
