Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 116 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 38 kt fast at 154 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 116 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

After the sink arrests at 21 ft, keep easing the yoke forward to let the aircraft continue settling rather than pausing above the runway.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 21 ft and the aircraft was held level there instead of being let down. Holding off high like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, and here the touchdown rate was 298 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuing descent through the flare all the way to touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 1.3° and 20.3°, and the speed between 90 kt and 181 kt.

Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.

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.

How to read this

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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.7 to 0.3 nm, then not again: right 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.

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

High from 4 nm to 3.4 nm (up to 940 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

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 figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

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

Crossed the threshold at 53 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 28 ft. Touched down 354 m in, 49 m past 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 490 fpm at the flare to 300 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.8° on the way down. Into the flare at 89 kt, 3 kt under the 92 kt approach speed, and 75 kt at touchdown.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,592 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 3.4 m right of the centreline, and steered back to 0.9 m right by the end of the rollout. Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

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 75 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 14 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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

The Piper Aerostar 600 departed from runway 08 at W50 Davis Airstrip. Takeoff used 757 m of runway, 96 % of its length, and liftoff occurred at 93 kt. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 0 kt from 073° (cross-wind 0 kt, head-wind 0 kt).

The aircraft climbed to 1,000 ft agl in 79 seconds, averaging 750 fpm and reaching 181 kt at the top of the initial climb. It then continued climbing from 1,485 ft asl to 7,722 ft asl in 11 minutes while covering 33 nm, beginning the climb about 1 mile south of MD02 St.

Cruise was level at 8,000 ft asl for 100 minutes, covering 324 nm, starting roughly 1 mile south-west of Middletown. Descent began from 7,679 ft asl to 3,091 ft asl in 7 minutes over 21 nm, starting 5 miles north of KGRO Belle River Field Grosse Pointe Farms. A further level segment was flown at 2,900 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 13 nm, beginning 3 miles south-east of Shelby.

On final approach to runway 15 at KDET Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,968 ft agl to 70 ft agl in 123 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level.

Landing was made on runway 15, whose length is 1,592 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 96 kt. The flare was poor, held off too high. Touchdown occurred at 75 kt, a good speed, with a touchdown distance of 354 m and a rate of -298 fpm, described as fair. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, 3.6 m off the centreline, but there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 759 m, 48 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

Taxiing from the runway to parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The flight totalled 399 nm, lasted 135 minutes, and used 188 kg of fuel. Local weather at the destination was 9 °C.
