Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.

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: 2.5° here, which is about 270 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 40 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.

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.

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 crosswind

5 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 78 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 181° at 11 kt · 10 kt head · 5 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 71 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 12 s, an average deceleration of 0.21 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.

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 5,000 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.

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.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a Cessna 414A aircraft, departing from runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Upon departure, the aircraft took off from runway 23, utilizing 42% of the runway's length, which is 2,110 feet. The liftoff speed was recorded at 95 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 181°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The climb took place from an altitude of 648 feet above sea level to 625 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 23 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

Upon reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The approach was made from the north, heading in a direction of 200.0°, at an altitude of 205 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing was executed on runway 23, which has a length of 5,004 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 86 knots. The touchdown distance was 972 feet, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 78 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 80°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 181°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,864 feet, which is 37% of the runway's length.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 12 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used -1 pound of fuel during the flight.
