What went well

Touched down at -98 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 1.96 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.06 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Departure Climb 2 — bank angle up to 18.6 ° at 56 %, −1.01 points
Arrival Rollout — Landing distance 1,457 m at 79 %, −0.85 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 78 %, −0.58 points

Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 4.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 30 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 30 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 30 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

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.

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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.0 nm, about 310 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 300 ft gate. The last to settle was the wings.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

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 crosswind

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

Wind 270° at 1 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.

The stop

From 96 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 24 s, an average deceleration of 0.16 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.

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 1,551 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.

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

This flight was conducted in a M500 aircraft, a type of single-engine turboprop plane. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, in under a minute. The departure roll took place on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a Scottish airport located in the Highland region. The takeoff distance covered 62% of the runway, which is 1,120 meters long. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 102 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The enroute level cruise phase began immediately after takeoff, with the aircraft flying overhead the airport at an altitude of 265 feet above ground level. This phase lasted for just 1 minute and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was conducted from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 51.0 degrees. The approach was initiated at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold and at an altitude of 265 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 194 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than the target speed, at 94 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 259 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind. The total landing distance covered 80% of the runway, which is 1,814 meters long. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
