Departure

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

What happened: Bank increased to 1.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 19° into the next climb segment.

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

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 87 kt with 5.9° 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 1,043 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,110 fpm on average to 504 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 218 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.7 m left. Airborne 28 % 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: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed and centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.3 to 1.5 nm, then not again: slow from 1.5 nm and left of the centreline from 0.5 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.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 560 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. 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 46 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 28 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 3.2 nm (up to +55 kt), then inside the band to 1.5 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −16 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

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 079° at 8 kt · 8 kt head · 1 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 64 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 18 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 310 fpm at 25 ft to 150 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.0° on the way down.

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 the aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Reggio Calabria Airport (LICR). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 33, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 489 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 340 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. After departing from Reggio Calabria Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 588 feet above sea level to 16,939 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,351 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northwest of Milazzo, Sicilia, Italy. This phase lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 77 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 15 miles northeast of Isola delle Femmine, Sicilia, Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 16,995 feet above sea level to 2,162 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,833 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.

After the enroute descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Alcamo, Sicilia, Italy. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07 at Falcone-Borsellino Airport (LICJ), which was located to the southwest. The aircraft was heading at 77.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,730 feet above ground level.

The landing took place on runway 07, which had a length of 3,000 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 76 knots was well below the target speed, requiring the pilot to be cautious not to stall. The touchdown distance was good at 398 meters, and the touchdown speed of 67 knots was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 793 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 152 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used 122 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
