Next time

Departure

Rotate as soon as the speed tape reaches the rotation target, easing back pressure smoothly without delay.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off above the rotation target speed, rotating later than planned.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the rotation target speed.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.

What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 3° on short final.

Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival 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.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 53 kt with 2.2° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to 151 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,684 ft of runway left; then climbing at 450 fpm on average to 151 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.

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.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, 2° of bank.

Wind 025° at 2 kt · 2 kt head · 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 44 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 21 ft. Touched down 940 ft in, close to 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 300 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at 9 ft, then back up to 500 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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.

Flight narrative

The Savage Cub taxied to runway 07 at CEN4 High River Airport and commenced its departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a takeoff distance of 173 ft, representing 5 % of the runway length, at a liftoff speed of 54 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 60 °F, wind 2 kt from 24°, with a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.

En-route climb began immediately after departure, overhead CEN4 High River Airport. The aircraft ascended from 3,605 ft asl to 3,764 ft asl, gaining 159 ft in 1 minute while covering a distance of 1 nm.

The final approach to High River Airport was flown from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 329 ft agl. Weather at the time of approach included a temperature of 60 °F, wind 2 kt from 25°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind of 2 kt.

During the descent phase the aircraft reduced altitude from 44 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a loss of 44 ft achieved in 8 seconds.

Touchdown occurred at High River Airport with a speed of 59 kt, which was noted as excessively fast. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 235 fpm and the touchdown point was located 470 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone.

In total the flight covered a distance of 2 nm, took 3 units of time, and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.
