Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 6.7 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 12°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 65 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 91 ft agl, 41 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 96 kt, 31 kt over the 65 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 589 m beyond the aim point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 65 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at EDSH Backnang-Heiningen Airfield in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 28, the aircraft used 336 m of runway, representing 67 % of the available length, and lifted off at 51 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

The climb began overhead the departure field, climbing from 1,017 ft asl to 2,643 ft asl-a gain of 1,626 ft-in 3 minutes while traversing 4 nm.

Level cruise commenced over Burgstetten and was maintained for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 24 nm.

Descent started 1 mile northwest of Ostfildern, descending from 2,591 ft asl to 1,398 ft asl, a loss of 1,193 ft in 2 minutes and spanning 4 nm.

On final approach to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, the threshold stood at 91 ft agl and the required threshold speed was 96 kt; the local weather remained unchanged with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, 1 kt cross-wind and 2 kt head-wind.

Touchdown occurred 605 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 53 kt and a vertical speed of minus 162 fpm; runway alignment at touchdown was perfect and the total landing distance measured 1,076 m, equivalent to 32 % of the 3,335 m runway.

Runway rollout proceeded with very good alignment, completing the landing roll within the measured distance.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 33 nm, lasted 21 minutes, and consumed 10 kg of fuel.
