See Arrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 61 kt with 5.6° 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 1,991 ft of runway left; then climbing at 880 fpm on average to 713 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 the start of the runway, never more than 5 ft off the centreline. Airborne 11 % 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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.8 nm, about 340 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 2.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 70 ft above 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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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 37 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 2.5 nm, where the final began, to 1.3 nm, then slow to 0.8 nm (up to −9 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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.

The crosswind

4 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 56 kt. Touched down with the nose 5° into wind, 3° of bank.

Wind 260° at 5 kt · 3 kt head · 4 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 60 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 13 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 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 21 ft, 29 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,021 ft in, close to 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 1,979 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 8 ft the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 120 fpm before coming down at 130 fpm to touch. The nose came up 1.6° 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.

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 area to the runway, which took approximately 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado CT182T with registration N5996K, then departed from runway 27 at KLDJ Linden Airport. The takeoff distance was 682 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 51°F and wind speeds of 9 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Rahway, New Jersey, where the aircraft ascended from 753 feet above sea level to 2,868 feet, an increase of 2,114 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began overhead Colonia, New Jersey, and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then encountered another enroute climb, this time starting 2 miles west of MD93 Hexton Farms Airport in Cecilton, Maryland. The climb from 2,908 feet to 3,436 feet, an increase of 528 feet, took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 2 miles south east of Betterton, Maryland, where the aircraft descended from 3,353 feet to 2,886 feet, a decrease of 467 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead MD11 Wright Field in Chestertown, Maryland, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began overhead Severna Park, Maryland, where the aircraft descended from 2,702 feet to 2,096 feet, a decrease of 606 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 1 mile north west of Crownsville, Maryland, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.

The final enroute descent began 1 mile south east of Glenn Dale, Maryland, where the aircraft descended from 1,918 feet to 714 feet, a decrease of 1,205 feet in 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at KCGS College Park Airport, flying from the south east at a heading of 319.0°, 2 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 662 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 33 at KCGS College Park Airport was successful, with a runway length of 1,979 feet. The threshold speed was 68 knots, and the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 56 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -70 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 50°F and wind speeds of 5 knots at 259°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,988 feet, which was 100% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 160 nautical miles, taking 90 minutes and using 120 pounds of fuel.
