Lifted off at 185 kt with 0.6° 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.

Rolled from 184 ft in, drifted 25 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 10 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 17 % 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.

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 260 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.

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.

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 with the nose 3° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 020° at 6 kt · 5 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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 34 ft, 16 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,275 ft in, 275 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.

The sink went from 720 fpm at 34 ft to 40 fpm at 19 ft, then back up to 450 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 7.4° 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 Hughes XF-11 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36L at the Orlando International Airport (KMCO), with a takeoff distance of 1,978 feet, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 185 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was also 11 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of the Orlando International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,106 feet above sea level to 6,870 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,764 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the enroute descent started 2 miles east of the Walt Disney World Airport (KDWS) and Lake Buena Vista STOLport, where the aircraft descended from 6,829 feet above sea level to 540 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,289 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 36L at the Orlando International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 0.0 degrees at an altitude of 437 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 12,043 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots.

The touchdown distance was recorded at 1,269 feet, which was considered good, while the touchdown speed was 109 knots, also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -450 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 20 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

In conclusion, the Hughes XF-11 aircraft completed a total flight distance of 25 nautical miles, taking approximately 11 minutes to complete the journey. The aircraft used 420 pounds of fuel during the flight.
