Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 2.4°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Carry more power on approach to hold 90 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 26 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 292 fpm.

Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 90 kt, keeping it there through the flare.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Touchdown was 357 m past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 90 kt, 5 kt below the 95 kt target, and lifted off at 95 kt 1.6 s later, the nose coming up at 3.7° a second.

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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.

Side view from the start of the roll to 407 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft at the runway end; then climbing at 1,010 fpm on average to 407 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.

Plan view the roll down the 750 m runway.

Rolled from 28 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 4.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.7 m right. Airborne 80 % of the way down the runway, past 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

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.

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.

The approach to LOWS 15

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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 170 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, 305 m 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 14× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 28 m off the centreline.

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 45 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −4 kt and +13 kt on the approach speed of 90 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.

The flare64.58

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare took all the sink out 26 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft settled on from there, 318 fpm of sink coming back, having crossed the threshold below target speed. Touchdown was 357 m past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 3° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 090° at 3 kt · 1 kt head · 2 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 76 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 7 s, an average deceleration of 0.33 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 38 ft, 142 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 26 ft, 24 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 357 m in, 52 m past the ideal 305 m.

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 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m 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 570 fpm at the flare to 290 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.4° 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 Beechcraft Duke taxied from the parking area to runway 36 at LOKW Wolfsberg Airfield, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 36. The aircraft used 595 m of runway, which was 79 % of the available length, and rotated at 90 kt. Local weather at departure was 10 °C with wind 2 kt from 089°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.

Initial climb to 400 ft agl took 23 seconds, averaging 1,006 fpm and reaching 116 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,680 ft asl to 14,012 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 25 nm and passing overhead Wolfsberg.

Cruise was level at 14,000 ft asl for 22 minutes, covering 54 nm, beginning about 1 mile south of Sankt Georgen ob Judenburg.

Descent began at 13,410 ft asl and proceeded to 2,640 ft asl in 13 minutes, covering 37 nm. The descent started 4 miles south of Weyregg and included a brief level-off at 4,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 15 at LOWS Salzburg Airport started from 1,298 ft agl and descended to 33 ft agl in 138 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 1,859 ft agl when the aircraft was 145 kt; the final flap position 2 was selected at 1,734 ft agl at 126 kt.

Landing on runway 15 was on a runway 2,544 m long with good threshold height. Threshold speed was 86 kt. The flare was poor; the aircraft ran out of speed in the flare. Touchdown occurred 357 m down the runway at 72 kt, a good speed, with a touchdown rate of minus 293 fpm, described as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and there was no bounce.

Total landing distance was 532 m, representing 21 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 12 °C with wind 6 kt from 090°, giving a 5 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The entire flight covered 123 nm, lasted 55 minutes, and consumed 156 kg of fuel.
