See Departure Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 95 kt with 9.4° 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.

Plan view the roll down the 2,289 m runway.

Rolled from 36 m in, drifted 5.1 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 32 % 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 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 3.0 to 0.3 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.3 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 KMGM 28

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 80 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 11× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then 10 m left of it from 0.3 nm to the threshold.

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 47 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 28 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 3.0 nm (up to +56 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.

Great landing flare

The crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 93 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 060° at 8 kt · 6 kt tail · 4 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 207 m in, 98 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 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 210 fpm at 9 ft to 10 fpm at 9 ft, then back up to 360 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 1.6° 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 flight began with the Beechcraft Duke taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBTR Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04L, with a takeoff distance of 745 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 359°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from KBTR, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 459 feet above sea level to 19,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,553 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.

The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 4 miles east of Osyka, Mississippi, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 166 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles southeast of Pine Hill, Alabama, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 19,010 feet above sea level to 2,002 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,008 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.

After the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started overhead KMGM Montgomery Regional (Dannelly Field) Airport in Montgomery, Alabama, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28 at KMGM was made from the east, with a heading of 276.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 28 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 206 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 93 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -260 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the tailwind was 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 698 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 312 nautical miles, and the flight used 174 kilograms of fuel.
