Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 15 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 4.2°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

What happened: The flare began late at 6.1 ft, 5.1 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 77 kt, 7 kt below the 84 kt target, and lifted off at 81 kt 2.3 s later, the nose coming up at 3.4° a second.

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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.

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.

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 circuit to NZAA 05R

Right-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, 1.2 nm out at 122 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.

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: 7° 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.

The approach to NZAA 05R

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 190 ft above 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 470 m right of the centreline at 2.4 nm, then inside it from 2.0 to 1.7 nm, then drifted 84 m left between 1.7 and 0.5 nm, then inside the band 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.

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 flare94.34

The flare held the target profile well. The flare began at 6 ft agl above the runway, lower than this aircraft wants. Touchdown was 335 m past the threshold. Begin raising the nose earlier - a late flare leaves no time to arrest the sink.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 7° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 001° at 3 kt · 1 kt head · 2 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 73 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.25 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 28 ft, 22 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 6 ft. Touched down 335 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 200 fpm at the flare to 140 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.6° 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 on the centreline and drifted to 6.6 m left on 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 Diamond DA62 taxied to runway 05R at Auckland International Airport and commenced its take-off roll, covering 596 m which represented 18 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 82 kt. Ambient conditions were 33 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 010°, giving a 1 kt head-wind component and a 3 kt cross-wind component.

After departure the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 05R, flying a distance of less than 1 nm in 46 seconds before establishing the downwind segment.

The subsequent right-hand crosswind leg from runway 05R was completed in less than 1 nm in 9 seconds, positioning the aircraft for the downwind turn.

During the downwind turn the aircraft covered 1 nm while turning to a 45° heading of 118.5°, aligning for the downwind leg.

The downwind leg itself extended 3 nm and was flown in 98 seconds, maintaining the prescribed pattern altitude.

A base-leg turn followed, with the aircraft traversing 3 nm and adjusting to a 45° heading of 28.1° as it prepared for the base leg.

The base leg was short, less than 1 nm, and was completed in 20 seconds before the final turn.

The final turn brought the aircraft onto the final approach course, covering 1 nm in 60 seconds and establishing the final approach path.

On final approach to runway 05R the aircraft descended from 915 ft AGL to 38 ft AGL in 93 seconds and met the stabilisation gates criteria.

Landing was executed on runway 05R, whose length is 3 284 m. The threshold speed was 80 kt, and touchdown occurred 332 m down the runway at 72 kt with a vertical speed of minus 155 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was perfect. Local weather at landing was 32 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 000°, providing a 2 kt head-wind and a 5 kt cross-wind. Total landing distance measured 538 m, representing 16 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Runway rollout alignment was very good, confirming a smooth deceleration to a stop.

In total the flight covered 9 nm, taking 6, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
