What held you back

Arrival Final 3 — Approach angle 5.2 ° at 4 %, −1.46 points
Arrival Final 2 — Approach angle 4.5 ° at 30 %, −1.00 points
Departure Climb 2 — bank angle up to 16.2 ° at 63 %, −0.78 points

See Arrival Final 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 101 kt with 5.2° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to 309 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,545 ft of runway left; then climbing at 960 fpm on average to 309 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.

Plan view the roll down the 5,004 ft runway.

Rolled from 208 ft in, drifted 5 ft right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 57 % 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 KRDU 23L

The final from 4 nm.

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

High from 3.9 nm, where the final began, to 1.6 nm (up to 1,130 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Joined 1,880 ft left of the centreline at 3.9 nm, then inside it from 2.8 to 2.2 nm, then drifted 320 ft right between 2.2 and 0.7 nm, then inside the band from 0.7 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.

The crosswind

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

Wind 030° at 5 kt · 5 kt tail · 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 85 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.26 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 24 ft, 26 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,936 ft in, 936 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.

The sink went from 360 fpm at 24 ft to 30 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.9° 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.

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 flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,685 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 102 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°F temperature and a 6-knot wind at 310°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The climb took 15 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 759 feet above sea level to 17,341 feet, an increase of 16,582 feet. The climb covered a distance of 37 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 9 miles southeast of Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island. This cruise phase lasted 52 minutes and covered a distance of 387 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of VA14 Southampton Correctional Center Airport in Capron, Virginia. The descent took 6 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 17,985 feet to 10,318 feet, a decrease of 7,667 feet. The descent covered a distance of 52 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles west of Hollister, North Carolina. This cruise phase lasted only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles northwest of KLOD Louisburg Airport in Louisburg, North Carolina. The descent took 10 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 9,755 feet to 1,874 feet, a decrease of 7,881 feet. The descent covered a distance of 30 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 23L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport. The approach was made from the northeast, with a heading of 227.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,459 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 45°F temperature and a 5-knot wind at 29°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 5 knots.

The aircraft landed on runway 23L, which had a length of 7,500 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 104 knots. The touchdown point was 510 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 81 knots and a touchdown rate of -34 feet per minute, which was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 2,909 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 517 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used 788 pounds of fuel during the flight.
