Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 68 kt with 9.1° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,608 m of runway left; then climbing at 560 fpm on average to 1,273 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.

Plan view the roll down the 2,516 m runway.

Rolled from 116 m in, drifted 9.5 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 26 % 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 LEMD 32L

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 160 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 5× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 73 m off the centreline.

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 (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 170° at 5 kt · 4 kt tail · 2 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 72 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 45 s, an average deceleration of 0.05 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 40 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 474 m in, 169 m past 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 480 fpm at 38 ft to 160 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.1° 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.

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 Douglas DC-3 began with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LESA Salamanca Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 03, with a takeoff distance of 552 meters, covering 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots. During takeoff, the local weather conditions included a temperature of 15°C, with a 7 knot wind coming from 310°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

The enroute climb began 1 mile east of Aldearrubia in Castilla y Leon, Spain, climbing from 3,902 feet above sea level to 10,998 feet above sea level, covering a total distance of 19 nautical miles in 9 minutes. The following level cruise phase started 2 miles north of Fresno El Viejo and lasted 14 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles.

The descent phase commenced 3 miles north of Garcillan, decreasing altitude from 10,971 feet to 8,943 feet in 4 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. Subsequent level cruise sections began 4 miles south east of Navas de Riofrio for 2 minutes, and 3 miles south of Manzanares el Real for 13 minutes, covering 6 and 27 nautical miles respectively.

Another descent phase initiated 2 miles northeast of Becerril de la Sierra, decreasing altitude from 8,638 feet to 7,947 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise segment starting 2 miles south east of Rivas-Vaciamadrid, lasting 6 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, before another descent phase began.

Approaching runway 32L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport from the southeast, the final approach had a heading of 321.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 32L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 474 meters, a touchdown speed of 64 knots, and a touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,386 meters, covering 45% of the runway.

After landing, a 3-minute taxi from the runway back to the parking area completed the flight. In total, the flight covered a distance of 139 nautical miles, taking 70 minutes and consuming 257 kilograms of fuel. The weather conditions at the time of landing at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport included a temperature of 13°C, with a 5 knot wind coming from 170°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The runway rollout alignment upon landing was reported to be very good.
