See Arrival Landing

High on final, the pilot dives to the aim point, converting altitude directly into airspeed, and arrives on-glideslope but 15 knots fast. The vertical profile looks fine; the speed trace does not. It is one of the reasons the stabilised-approach concept - configured, on speed, on path by a gate, commonly 1,000 ft in IMC and 500 ft in VMC - checks speed and path together, and why the tolerances airlines use are asymmetric, typically allowing more on the fast side than the slow, because slow kills faster than fast.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 94 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.

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 3,050 m runway.

Rolled from 146 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 7.5 m at the widest, and lifted off 7.6 m left, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 19 % 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 final from 4 nm.

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

Outside the glideslope band 3 times; furthest off 820 ft high at 2.9 nm.

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.

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 with the nose 2° right of the track, 3° of bank.

Wind 092° at 11 kt · 11 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 80 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 6 s, an average deceleration of 0.47 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 1,340 fpm at 97 ft to 490 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 8.8° 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.

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 in the DHC-6 began with a departure roll on runway 10 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport. The takeoff distance was 460 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was -4°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 51°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.

The enroute climb started overhead BIKF, with the aircraft climbing from 1,193 feet above sea level to 1,606 feet above sea level in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise began over Reykjanesbaer and lasted 2 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile.

The landing took place on runway 28 at BIKF, with a runway length of 3,050 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 100 feet above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 87 knots. The touchdown occurred 508 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 74 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -500 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was -5°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 92°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 619 meters, accounting for 20% of the runway.

Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, with a duration of 10 minutes. The flight used a total of -127 kilograms of fuel.
