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.

Lifted off at 79 kt with 5.3° 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.

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.

Profile height against the 3.5° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 60 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, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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.

Joined 1,140 ft right of the centreline at 0.8 nm, then inside the band 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.

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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 060° at 3 kt · 3 kt head · 0 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 4,795 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 48 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,155 ft in, 155 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 4,795 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 520 fpm at 46 ft to 60 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.8° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Pesim FPV Drone Racer taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBIV West Michigan Regional Airport. This process took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Once at the runway, the drone took off from runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 993 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 79 knots.

As the drone departed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 90°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 5 knots. After taking off, the drone began its enroute climb, which started overhead KBIV West Michigan Regional Airport in Holland, Michigan. The climb took the drone from an altitude of 1,118 feet above sea level to 1,687 feet above sea level, an increase of 569 feet, in less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Following the climb, the drone entered its enroute level cruise phase, which began 1 mile east of KBIV West Michigan Regional Airport. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. The drone then began its final approach to runway 05 at KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 44.0° and an altitude of 147 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed on runway 05, which had a length of 4,795 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 68 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,146 feet, and the touchdown speed was 59 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -58 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 60°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 28 nautical miles and lasted for 17 minutes, using 19 pounds of fuel.
