See Arrival Landing

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Lifted off at 95 kt with 5.4° 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Profile height against the 3° 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 120 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, 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.

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 from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.3 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +18 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

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 069° at 3 kt · 3 kt tail · 1 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 69 ft, 19 ft above the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,358 ft in, 358 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 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 650 fpm at 66 ft to 310 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.2° 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 flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Baron 58P, then departed from runway 05 at KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,709 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,156 feet above sea level to 1,710 feet above sea level, an increase of 554 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent 1 mile southwest of South Haven, Michigan. The descent from 1,706 feet above sea level to 1,200 feet above sea level, a decrease of 506 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 28 at KBEH Southwest Michigan Regional Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 271.0° at an altitude of 159 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 5,981 feet. The threshold height at 69 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 102 knots.

The touchdown point was 174 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 92 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 69°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total flight distance was 21 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used 34 pounds of fuel during the flight.
