Know your rotation speed

See Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 65 kt with 7.2° 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.

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.

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.9 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, 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 0.9 nm, never more than 93 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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm (up to +32 kt), then inside the band to 0.2 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +16 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 crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

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 797 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 6 ft, 44 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 31 m in, 274 m short of 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 797 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 29 at Haydock Park Airstrip, designated as EGGL. The aircraft, a DR400, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 66 kt, covering a distance of 270 m, which accounted for 41% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt blowing from a direction of 259 °.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Ashton in Makerfield, a borough in Wigan, England. The climb was quite steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 703 ft above sea level to 1,047 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nm. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a steady cruise altitude.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began overhead Newton-le-Willows, a town in St. Helens, England. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 10 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. This period of steady flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments to the flight plan.

As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 28 at Haydock Park Airstrip, designated as EG49. The approach was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 290.0 ° at an altitude of 263 ft above ground level and a distance of 0 nm from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a calm wind of 1 kt blowing from a direction of 259 °.

The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 71 kt. However, the touchdown speed was slightly too fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -375 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft came to rest on the runway with a total landing distance of 292 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 4 nm and lasted for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft used 3 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the flight.
