Pattern Downwind

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at EGQE Whiterashes Farm Airstrip. The aircraft, Sirius, required a takeoff distance of 150 meters, which was 18% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 47 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 273 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 28, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 35 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 73.5 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 102 seconds.

The final approach to runway 28 was made from the east, with a heading of 271.0 degrees at an altitude of 33.9 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 28 was executed with a threshold speed of 44 knots, which was well below the target speed to avoid stalling. The touchdown distance was 217 meters, and the touchdown speed was 36 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -0.1 meters per second.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were identical to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel throughout the flight.

Landing on runway 28 at EGQE Whiterashes Farm Airstrip in the Sirius
Landing Score 97.43 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGQE Whiterashes Farm Airstrip with a high score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 271.0° at an altitude of 33.9 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The pilot executed a precise landing, taking into account the runway's length of 827 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed of 44 knots was well below the target, indicating a controlled approach. However, the pilot was cautioned to avoid stalling, as the speed was relatively low.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 217 meters, and the touchdown speed of 36 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most notable aspect of the landing was the perfect touchdown rate of -0.1 meters per second, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

Although the landing was largely successful, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 3.2 meters off-center. This minor misalignment may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth landing. Overall, the pilot's performance was commendable, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
