What went well

Touched down at -93 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 261 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 41 ft and 46 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Pattern Downwind — Heading 18.2 ° at 12 %, −1.26 points
Arrival Touchdown — bank angle up to 4.7 ° at 67 %, Landing Bounce at 80 %, −0.94 points
Departure Roll — Takeoff Bounce at 60 %, −0.89 points

Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 45 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Use coordinated rudder and aileron on the crosswind leg to correct heading drift promptly and keep the wings level on track.

What happened: On the crosswind leg the heading drifted 5.8° off the intended track, and a drift like this usually carries through to extra bank being held at touchdown, which this flight saw at 2.2°.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, track held steady throughout the crosswind leg.

See Pattern CrosswindArrival Touchdown

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Plan view the roll down the 2,490 m runway.

Rolled from 120 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 3.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.9 m right. Airborne 8 % 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 circuit to EHGG 23

Left-hand, 1,000 ft circuit height. The plan shows your circuit over a textbook one for this runway; the profile unrolls the same path from liftoff to the go-around. This lap ended in a go-around; the landing that followed was flown without circuit legs.

Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 0.5 nm out at 46 kt

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

Around the circuit height and bank; the turns are shaded

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

Low: turned crosswind at 357 ft, before the end of the runway, below the 500 ft minimum.

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

The approach to EHGG 23

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.7 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 160 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, 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.

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 all the way from 0.7 nm, never more than 111 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 25 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 15 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.7 nm, where the final began, to 0.4 nm (up to +14 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.

Crossed the threshold at 41 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 29 ft. Touched down 261 m in, close to 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 540 fpm at the flare to 90 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 13.8° on the way down. Into the flare at 46 kt, 4 kt under the 50 kt approach speed, and 33 kt at touchdown.

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.

How to read this

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 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 32 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 1 s, an average deceleration of 0.09 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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Piper Cub taxied to runway 23 and began its departure roll, accelerating down the 2,493-meter-long runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 43 knots, achieving liftoff in a distance of 233 meters, which accounted for just 9% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nautical mile in just 16 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was flown for 2 nautical miles, taking 536 seconds to complete. The final approach was initiated from a heading of 231.0 degrees, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 223 feet above ground level (agl) to touch down on the runway.

The landing was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 33 knots and a touchdown rate of -106 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 235 meters was within acceptable limits, accounting for just 10% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a straight line. The total landing distance of 260 meters was an impressive achievement, considering the favorable weather conditions and the aircraft's performance. The total flight distance of 16 nautical miles was completed in 14 minutes, with the aircraft using a mere 0 kilograms of fuel.
