Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 138 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 104 kt against a target of 138 kt, running 34 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 138 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Adjust your approach path so you touch down at the 457 m aim point instead of beyond it.

What happened: Touchdown point came 63 m past the target, landing at 520 m against the 457 m aim point. Landings that touch down this far beyond the aim point typically leave less runway available for stopping.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

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.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 4.2° and 17.5°, and the speed between 97 kt and 117 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.

Plan view the roll down the 2,624 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted right of the centreline, 2.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.8 m right, in 5 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 19 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 953 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,852 m of runway left; gear up at 66 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,310 fpm on average to 953 ft.

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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. 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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. 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: five checks where the approach path is 300 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.

Gear down
Landing flap
Sink rate810 fpm
On glideslope3.3°
On speed−6.9 kt

At the 300 ft gate: speed more than 5 kt below the approach speed of 86 kt.

Still turning onto final at the lower gate, so the centreline and wings level are not asked there - the aeroplane was not lined up yet, and was banked because it was turning. The other checks are marked as usual.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: slow all the way and right of the centreline until 0.5 nm.

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.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 80 ft above 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.

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 43 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 26 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Slow from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to −12 kt).

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.

Began the flare at 42 ft, 64 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 40 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 520 m in, 215 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.

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.

Touched down 2.7 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.9 m left at the widest. 8 kt across from the right, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 64 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, 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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way. 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.

From 72 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 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 TBM 850 taxied from the parking area to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 05. The aircraft used 510 m of runway, which is 19 % of the available length, and rotated at 82 kt. Local weather at departure was 22 °C with wind 6 kt from 159°, a 6 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 41 seconds, averaging 1 121 fpm and reaching 117 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1 158 ft asl to 4 323 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 5 nm and passing overhead Machico.

The aircraft then levelled at 4 600 ft asl for 10 minutes, covering 33 nm, beginning 2 mi east of Porto da Cruz. A subsequent climb from 4 876 ft asl to 5 717 ft asl lasted 2 minutes and covered 5 nm, starting 3 mi south of Seixal.

Descent from 5 697 ft asl to 5 126 ft asl took 2 minutes over 6 nm, beginning 2 mi south-east of Sao Vicente, followed by level flight at 5 500 ft asl for 9 minutes and 34 nm, starting overhead Sao Vicente.

A further descent from 5 563 ft asl to 474 ft asl lasted 8 minutes, covering 18 nm and beginning 1 mi south-east of Camacha.

Final approach to runway 05 began with a descent from 479 ft agl to 44 ft agl in 52 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate and glideslope; speed was not met. The landing gear was lowered at 1 086 ft agl at 122 kt, and the final flap position 1 was selected at 1 025 ft agl at 119 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 05, whose length is 2 624 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 81 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown was 84 m beyond the touchdown zone, at 64 kt with a rate of -70 fpm, and alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 22 °C with wind 11 kt from 170°, a 9 kt crosswind and a 6 kt tailwind. No bounce occurred.

The total landing roll was 873 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 106 nm in 43 minutes and used 107 kg of fuel.
