Pattern Downwind

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.

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.
