What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 ft agl at 0 %, −2.50 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.

What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.

Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 46 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 57 kt, 11 kt above the 46 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 46 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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

Lifted off at 47 kt with 5.8° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 86 kt target, at 82 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.

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.

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 40 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 0.8 nm, never more than 161 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 23 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 14 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +19 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.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 0 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 35 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 6 s, an average deceleration of 0.05 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.

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.

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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 47 kt in a distance of 732 meters, which accounted for 29% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, which covered a distance of 3 nm at an angle of 98.5° to the runway, showcased the aircraft's responsiveness to control inputs. The final approach to runway 23, which was initiated from a heading of 231.0° at an altitude of 231 ft above ground level, was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent.

The landing itself was notable for its precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 35 kt and a touchdown distance of 321 meters, which accounted for 16% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate of -29 fpm was also within optimal limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out to a stop, using a total of 394 meters of runway. The flight, which covered a total distance of 11 nm, consumed a total of -69 kg of fuel and lasted for approximately 8 minutes.
