See Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

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.

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

6 kt across from the right, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 49 kt. Touched down with 7° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 236° at 28 kt · 27 kt head · 6 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 31 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 1 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.

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 2,415 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22 at AZ03 Cliff Dwellers Lodge Airport. The aircraft, a DV20, took off with a takeoff distance of 446 feet, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 48 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 237 degrees. This resulted in a 2-knot crosswind and a 23-knot headwind.

After departing from AZ03 Cliff Dwellers Lodge Airport, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 1 minute and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. This phase started overhead the airport. Following the level cruise, the aircraft began a climb from 4,034 feet above sea level to 4,588 feet above sea level, an increase of 554 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile northeast of the airport.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase started 3 miles northeast of the airport. Subsequently, the aircraft began a descent from 4,490 feet above sea level to 3,686 feet above sea level, a decrease of 804 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. This descent phase started 1 mile south of L41 Marble Canyon.

The final approach to runway 21 at L41 Marble Canyon was made from the northeast, with a heading of 223.0 degrees at an altitude of 83 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 28 knots from a direction of 235 degrees, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and a 27-knot headwind.

The aircraft landed on runway 21, which had a length of 2,415 feet. The touchdown distance was 563 feet, which was 25% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 49 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -61 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.

In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 8 nautical miles, using 3 pounds of fuel, and took a total of 8 minutes to complete.
