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 90 kt with 6.0° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 703 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 4,055 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,260 fpm on average to 703 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.

Plan view the roll down the 6,011 ft runway.

Rolled from 194 ft in, drifted right of the centreline, 10 ft at the widest, and lifted off 10 ft right. Airborne 24 % 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 KDRP 18

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 460 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.

Joined 5,570 ft left of the centreline, then inside the band from 2.2 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 +3 kt and +20 kt on the approach speed of 84 kt.

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

9 kt across from the right, which takes about 6° of crab to hold the centreline at 90 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 220° at 15 kt · 12 kt head · 9 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 4,977 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 22 ft, 28 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 954 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 4,977 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 330 fpm at 21 ft to 180 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.6° 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 to the runway, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 17 at KAWM West Memphis Municipal Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,276 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 67°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 190°. This resulted in a 3-knot crosswind and a 16-knot headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KAWM West Memphis Municipal Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 954 feet above sea level to 3,471 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,518 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile northeast of Edmondson, Arkansas. This cruise phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles northeast of 14AR Rice-Bell Field Forrest City, Arkansas. The descent was from an altitude of 3,018 feet above sea level to 1,779 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,239 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of 14AR Rice-Bell Field Forrest City, Arkansas. This cruise phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at KDRP Delta Regional Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 184.0° and at an altitude of 555 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 18 at KDRP Delta Regional Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 951 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 90 knots, which was fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -185 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 219°, resulting in a 9-knot crosswind and a 12-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 2,684 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 35 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 65 pounds of fuel during the flight.
