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.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 73 kt with 3.1° 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 1,587 ft of runway left; then climbing at 930 fpm on average to 998 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.

Rolled from 540 ft in, drifted 12 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 13 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 44 % 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 KASE 15

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 2.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 110 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, 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 2.1 nm, where the final began, to 0.4 nm, then 50 ft left of it from 0.4 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +6 kt and +26 kt on the approach speed of 75 kt.

How to read this

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.

Wind 240° at 20 kt · 3 kt head · 17 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 78 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.24 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 27 ft, 23 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 2,384 ft in, 1,384 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.

From 27 ft the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 140 fpm before coming down at 80 fpm to touch. The nose came up 2.7° on the way down.

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 began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA28 Turbo Arrow IV, then departed from runway 29 at Crested Butte Airpark. The takeoff distance was 1,534 feet, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from 245 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Crested Butte, Colorado, and ascended from 9,893 feet above sea level to 13,215 feet, an increase of 3,322 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north of Crested Butte and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 5 miles southwest of Aspen, Colorado, and the aircraft descended from 12,643 feet to 7,955 feet, a decrease of 4,688 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The aircraft then initiated a climb phase overhead Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field), ascending from 7,942 feet to 8,257 feet, an increase of 316 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport was made from the north, heading 159.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 571 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 82 knots. The touchdown point was 970 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 71 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -82 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 59 feet from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 20 knots from 240 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 20 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,333 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 22 pounds of fuel during the flight.
