Next time

Departure

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

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 83 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 128 kt, 45 kt above the 83 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 83 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 106 kt with 4.2° 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 914 m of runway left; then climbing at 650 fpm on average to 686 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.

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.

Wings level

At the 300 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off, wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 20 kt above the approach speed of 85 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way, no landing flap until 0.5 nm, banked from 1.9 nm, left of the centreline from 0.6 nm and high from 0.4 nm to the threshold.

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 178 m left of the centreline, then inside it from 3.0 to 2.4 nm, then drifted 626 m right between 2.4 and 0.6 nm, then 214 m left of it from 0.6 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.

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 with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt head · 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 85 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 41 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 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.

Crossed the threshold at 138 ft, 88 ft above the 50 ft target. Touched down 946 m in, 641 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 1,980 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 1,590 fpm at 113 ft to 50 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 7.6° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA62, then departed from runway 24 at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport. The takeoff distance was 821 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 106 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Roux in Wallonia, Belgium, and ascended from 1,295 feet above sea level to 6,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,715 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started overhead Denee in Wallonia, Belgium, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile south of Hostert in Redange, Luxembourg, and descended from 6,002 feet above sea level to 2,228 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,774 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started again overhead Ernzen in Mersch, Luxembourg, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport was made from the north-east, heading 244.0° at 4 nautical miles and 288 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 24 was characterized by a touchdown point that was 447 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 85 knots, which was faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,816 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.8 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 96 nautical miles, taking 38 minutes, and the aircraft used 34 kilograms of fuel.
