What went well

Rollout held the centreline in a 15 kn crosswind — 6.91 m off at taxi speed
Touchdown 89 m in — inside the full-score zone
Flare on profile — 92 %

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Speed at touchdown 64 kt at 29 %, bank angle up to 7.1 ° at 46 %, −3.03 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 71 kt at 56 %, bank angle up to 7.8 ° at 88 %, −1.57 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 11.24 m left at 81 %, Rotation speed was 61 kt at 88 %, −0.70 points

Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 11 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.9°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 54 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 71 kt, well above the 54 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 54 kt on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 61 kt, 11 kt above the 50 kt target, and lifted off at 71 kt 2.9 s later, the nose coming up at 2.3° a second.

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 figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.

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.

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

The final from 4 nm.

Inside the glideslope band from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 60 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.

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 flare91.56

The flare held the target profile well. Crossing the threshold 17 kt above target, the flare began at 11 ft agl above the runway, lower than this aircraft wants. Touchdown was 89 m past the threshold. Begin raising the nose earlier - a late flare leaves no time to arrest the sink.

The crosswind

15 kt across from the right, which takes about 14° of crab to hold the centreline at 64 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, 5° of bank.

Wind 072° at 16 kt · 5 kt head · 15 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.

The stop

From 62 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 13 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 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.

Side view — the last 1,293 m of the approach.

Began the flare late, at 11 ft; crossed the threshold at 8 ft, 42 ft below the 50 ft target; ballooned 2 ft from 6 ft. Touched down 89 m in, 216 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 1,293 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 420 fpm at the flare to 240 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.6° 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 JMB VL-3 Sprint departed EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield on runway 36. Take-off used 422 m, 33 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 61 kt. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 16 kt from 072°, giving a 15 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind component.

The aircraft climbed to 400 ft agl in 31 seconds, averaging 377 fpm and reaching 132 kt at the top of the initial climb. A left-hand circuit was flown, lasting 7 minutes. The downwind leg was 5 nm, flown in 138 seconds at 900 ft agl, and the base leg was 2 nm, flown in 91 seconds.

On final approach to runway 36, descent was from 291 ft agl to -348 ft agl in 83 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway showed gear down, sink rate and glideslope met; landing flap and speed were not met. The aircraft was in final flap position 1 at 196 ft agl with a speed of 91 kt.

Touchdown occurred on runway 36. The threshold speed was 71 kt, noted as excessively high. The flare was described as great but started late. Touchdown distance was 89 m and touchdown speed was 64 kt, noted as excessively fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was -239 fpm, described as fair. The touchdown point was 9.3 m off the centreline but there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 399 m, 31 % of the 1,293 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

The flight covered 15 nm in 8 minutes and consumed 2 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 11 °C with wind 15 kt from 071°, giving a 14 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind component.
