See Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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

Lifted off at 73 kt with 5.5° 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.

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 approach to YPKG 29

The final from 4 nm.

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

High from 4 nm to 3.0 nm (up to 1,730 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, 1,000 ft 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Outside the 1° band 3 times; furthest 1,090 ft right at 3.9 nm.

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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −8 kt and +25 kt on the approach speed of 80 kt.

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.

The crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 62 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 350° at 5 kt · 3 kt head · 4 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 60 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 29 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 662 ft in, 338 ft short of 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 5,000 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 60 fpm at 9 ft to 20 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.6° on the way down.

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 flight in question was operated by the Velocity XL aircraft, departing from runway 08R at YPPF Adelaide Parafield Airport. The takeoff distance was 714 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 74 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 99 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed, it began to ascend from an altitude of 472 feet above sea level to 16,576 feet above sea level, a total increase of 16,104 feet over a period of 10 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 37 nautical miles and took place over the Para Hills West area in the state of South Australia, Australia. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 81 minutes and covered a distance of 800 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 8 miles south of YARS Ardrossan Airport in the state of South Australia, Australia.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent phase, which started 7 miles south of YKRE Karonie Cundeelee in the state of Western Australia, Australia. The descent took place from an altitude of 16,118 feet above sea level to 2,682 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 13,436 feet over a period of 17 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 55 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 29 at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 289.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,477 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 29, which had a length of 6,548 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 72 knots. The touchdown distance was 655 feet, which was considered good, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, also considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -19 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 349 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,541 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile over a period of 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 896 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 114 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 368 pounds of fuel during the flight.
