What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then GPWS warning; bank angle up to 112.4 ° at 0 %, g force 0.53 to 3.51 g at 43 %, −9.18 points
Enroute Climb — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; bank angle up to 97.2 ° at 0 %, g force -0.16 to 3.31 g at 48 %, −7.53 points
Arrival Touchdown — Landing Bounce at 0 %, −0.83 points

Next time

Fixing the bounce

See Arrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 77 kt with 9.2° 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 3,430 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,960 fpm on average to 821 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.

Rolled from 109 ft in, drifted right of the centreline, 15 ft at the widest, and lifted off 16 ft right. Airborne 18 % 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 approach to KSFZ 05

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 120 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, 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 3× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 1.4 nm, never more than 580 ft 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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to 1.1 nm (up to +38 kt), then inside the band to 0.8 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +29 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.

3 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 78 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 119° at 4 kt · 0 kt head · 3 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 78 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 s, an average deceleration of 0.16 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 13 ft, 37 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 707 ft in, 293 ft short of 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.

The sink went from 230 fpm at 11 ft to 40 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.0° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Horten Ho229 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport. This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to depart from runway 05, with a takeoff distance of 823 feet, which accounted for 16% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 78 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 116°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,398 feet above sea level to 4,995 feet above sea level, a total increase of 3,597 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began 1 mile northeast of Harrisville, Rhode Island, with the aircraft descending from 4,916 feet above sea level to 499 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 4,417 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then performed a go-around from runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport, reaching an altitude of 81 feet above ground level.

The final approach to runway 05 was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 35.0° at an altitude of 353 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 05, which had a length of 5,004 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 88 knots. The touchdown distance was 704 feet, and the touchdown speed was 78 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -45 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.

The local weather conditions during the landing were the same as during the takeoff, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 118°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,642 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 35 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used 158 pounds of fuel during the flight.
