Next time

Departure

Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.

What happened: Bank increased to 1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 3.8° into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the departure roll from runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport. The aircraft, Sirius, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 224 meters, which is 10% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 66 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the air.

As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both negligible at 1 knot each. The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 1 mile northwest of Hampton in Arden, a suburb of Solihull in England. During this 4-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport. The approach was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a bearing of 145.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 67 feet above ground level and had not yet begun its descent.

The landing phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 40 knots. The touchdown distance was 259 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -32 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters.

The local weather conditions during the landing phase were identical to those encountered during the departure roll, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components remained negligible at 1 knot each.

In conclusion, the flight was completed in a total distance of 4 nautical miles, taking approximately 5 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating a highly efficient operation.

Landing on runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport in the TL3000 Sirius
Landing Score 98.83 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport with a high score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 145.0° at an altitude of 67 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft then landed on runway 15, which has a length of 2,317 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 50 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 259 meters, and the touchdown speed of 40 knots was also within acceptable limits.

One of the key performance metrics for this landing was the touchdown rate, which was reported as perfect at -32 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustment in the aircraft's approach path to achieve a more precise touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and winds of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, which likely contributed to the smoothness of the landing. Overall, the Sirius aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing at EGBB Birmingham International Airport.
