What went well

Touched down at -152 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 16 ft and 159 kt — both inside band
1.17 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — GPWS warning; speed limits at 0 %, bank angle up to 165.0 ° at 0 %, −7.50 points
Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, GPWS warning, then landing lights; bank angle up to 146.0 ° at 0 %, g force -1.01 to 6.64 g at 0 %, −5.25 points
Enroute Climb — GPWS warning, then 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; g force -0.71 to 3.70 g at 37 %, bank angle up to 67.5 ° at 45 %, −2.65 points

Next time

Slow the descent speed

See Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 144 kt with 5.7° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 914 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 160 ft of runway left; then climbing at 2,660 fpm on average to 914 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 284 ft in, never more than 2 ft off the centreline. Airborne 66 % 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 final from 4 nm.

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

High from 2.7 nm, where the final began, to 2.2 nm (up to 470 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.

Joined 2,870 ft left of the centreline at 2.7 nm, then inside the band from 1.7 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.

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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 247° at 2 kt · 1 kt tail · 0 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 16 ft, 34 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 2,513 ft in, 1,513 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 400 fpm at 15 ft to 150 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31 at 49CL El Peco Ranch Airport. The A10C Thunderbolt II took off with a takeoff distance of 1,571 feet, which was 57% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of 49CL El Peco Ranch Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,217 feet above sea level to 4,301 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,084 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its first descent 1 mile northwest of 3CA5 Haws Airport, descending from 4,367 feet above sea level to 340 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,027 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 5 miles northwest of 3CA5 Haws Airport, taking it from 340 feet above sea level to 6,437 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,097 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its second descent, this time from 6,171 feet above sea level to 759 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,413 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The descent took place overhead 2O6 Chowchilla.

The final approach to runway 12 at KMAE Madera Municipal Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 136.0° at 1 nautical mile and 494 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 5,539 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 160 knots.

The touchdown point was 1,167 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots and a touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 246°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 4,273 feet, which was 77% of the runway. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, and the flight took 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,304 pounds of fuel during the flight.
