Smooth the climb

See Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 75 kt with 8.2° 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 386 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,876 m of runway left; then climbing at 320 fpm on average to 386 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 2,353 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 2.7 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 6 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 11 % 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 EIDW 28L

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 350 ft below 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 7× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 1.0 nm, then drifted 34 m left between 1.0 and 0.8 nm, then inside the band from 0.8 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

5 kt across from the left, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 59 kt. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, away from the wind, wings level.

Wind 250° at 23 kt · 21 kt head · 5 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 49 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 17 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 36 ft, 14 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 321 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.

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 380 fpm at 35 ft to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.3° 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.

The departure roll was on runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 420 m, which was 18% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 76 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 9 °C with a wind speed of 29 kn at 239 °, resulting in a crosswind of 7 kn and a headwind of 28 kn.

The enroute level cruise started overhead EGPF Glasgow International Airport Paisley and lasted less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Paisley, climbing from 441 ft asl to 1,118 ft asl in 2 minutes and covering 2 nm. The next level cruise started 1 mile north of Hawkhead and lasted 10 minutes, covering 3 nm.

After that, the enroute climb started overhead Barrhead, climbing from 1,184 ft asl to 7,610 ft asl in 11 minutes and covering 14 nm. The following level cruise started 1 mile north of Dundonald and lasted 92 minutes, covering 145 nm. The descent phase started 16 miles east of Greystones, descending from 7,574 ft asl to 3,794 ft asl in 4 minutes and covering 10 nm. Another level cruise then started 8 miles east of Howth and lasted 11 minutes, covering 12 nm.

The second descent started 2 miles east of Portraine, descending from 3,777 ft asl to 2,869 ft asl in 2 minutes and covering 6 nm. The final level cruise started 8 miles northeast of Howth and lasted 8 minutes, covering 10 nm. The final approach to runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport was from the east, heading 276.0 ° at 4 nm and 923 ft agl. The landing on runway 28L had a touchdown point 320 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 59 kn and a VSI of -220 ft/m. The total landing distance was 649 m, which was 25% of the runway length.

After landing, the taxi from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 218 nm, taking 132 minutes and using 695 kg of fuel. The entire flight was conducted under varying weather conditions, with crosswinds and headwinds affecting the performance of the aircraft during takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing.
