Maintain the centreline

See Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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

Lifted off at 145 kt with 3.2° 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.

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.

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.

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

On the glideslope from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to 0.4 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 60 ft under).

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.

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.

Inside the 1° band from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to 1.7 nm, then drifted 250 ft right between 1.7 and 0.8 nm, then inside the band from 0.8 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.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 301° at 9 kt · 8 kt head · 1 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 28 ft, 22 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,295 ft in, 295 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 380 fpm at 27 ft to 170 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.3° 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.

How to read this

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

This flight was conducted in a B-2 Spirit aircraft, a highly advanced and stealthy bomber. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 34 at the Quonset State Airport, with the aircraft lifting off the ground after traveling 3,044 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots, a testament to the aircraft's impressive performance capabilities.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions that included a temperature of 42 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 309 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The enroute climb began overhead the Quonset State Airport in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, and involved a vertical ascent from 688 feet above sea level to 508 feet above sea level, an increase of 180 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 322.0 degrees and an altitude of 475 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold at this point. The landing on runway 34 was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 130 knots and a touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 1,296 feet, which was well within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also spot on.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 3,667 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway's length. The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was impressive, with the touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway touchdown and rollout alignments all being within acceptable limits.

In conclusion, this flight in the B-2 Spirit aircraft was a testament to the aircraft's exceptional performance capabilities. The aircraft's ability to climb efficiently, land with precision, and maintain perfect alignment during the rollout phase was impressive. The flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,434 pounds of fuel during the entire flight.
