Next time

Departure

Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.

What happened: Bank increased to 5° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.1° into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.

What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.

Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 3.8° with no reversals.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 103 kt with 3.7° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 2,479 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,970 fpm on average to 1,004 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.

Plan view the roll down the 4,627 ft runway.

Rolled from 949 ft in, never more than 4 ft off the centreline. Airborne 35 % 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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and no landing flap set.

At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed and centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: banked until 2.8 nm, no landing flap until 1.9 nm, gear up until 1.9 nm, high until 1.6 nm, sinking too fast until 1.0 nm, right of the centreline from 3.1 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.

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. 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 43 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 26 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −6 kt and +33 kt on the approach speed of 85 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

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 73 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 271° at 15 kt · 14 kt head · 4 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 85 ft, 35 ft above the 50 ft target. Touched down 2,327 ft in, 1,327 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 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.

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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 27R at Gillespie Field, KSEE. The Beechcraft Baron G58 took off with a takeoff distance of 766 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 103 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airport.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 268 degrees. This resulted in a 3-knot crosswind and a 14-knot headwind. The aircraft continued its climb, passing overhead Santee, California, and reaching an altitude of 4,242 feet above sea level.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles west of Eucalyptus Hills, California. The descent was from 4,767 feet above sea level to 1,510 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,257 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 24R at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station - Mitscher Field, KNKX, was from the east, heading 260 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,058 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was required to execute a go-around due to the aircraft's position.

The go-around was initiated at an altitude of 1,035 feet above ground level. After completing the go-around, the aircraft made a successful landing on runway 24R, which had a length of 11,982 feet. The threshold height at 85 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 94 knots.

The touchdown point was 1,191 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 73 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 271 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 14-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 3,403 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 11 pounds of fuel during the flight.
