Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

After the sink arrests at 14 ft, keep easing the yoke forward to let the aircraft continue settling rather than pausing above the runway.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 14 ft and the aircraft was held level there instead of being let down. Holding off high like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, and here the touchdown rate was 408 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuing descent through the flare all the way to touchdown.

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 43 kt, on the 42 kt target, and lifted off at 45 kt 0.1 s later with 3.4° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 63 kt, 8 kt under its 71 kt target.

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 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.

Plan view the roll down the 4,978 ft runway.

Rolled from 483 ft in, drifted right of the centreline, 12 ft at the widest, and lifted off 13 ft right, in 6 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 17 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

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 flare76.32

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare took the sink out 14 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 34 ft past the threshold. Let it come lower before checking the descent - holding off high uses runway and leaves the touchdown to chance.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° left of the track, 2° of bank.

Wind 110° at 8 kt · 7 kt head · 2 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 3,310 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 22 ft, 240 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 1 ft, 49 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 34 ft in, 966 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 3,310 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 640 fpm at the flare to 410 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.6° 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.

Touched down on the centreline and drifted to 28 ft right on the rollout, back to 6 ft right by the end.

How to read this

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 Savage Cub taxied to runway 35 at CYBW Calgary / Springbank Airport and commenced the departure roll. The takeoff run measured 948 ft, representing 19 % of the available runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 46 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 52 °F with wind from 110° at 7 kt, including a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.

During the final approach the aircraft descended from 569 ft AGL to 16 ft AGL in 21 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate requirements. This controlled descent preceded the final alignment for landing.

The final approach to runway 08 was executed from the west on a heading of 87.0° at 0 nm and 101 ft AGL. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 53 °F, wind from 110° at 8 kt, with a 3 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind component.

Touchdown occurred on runway 08, whose length is 3,317 ft. The threshold speed was recorded at 54 kt, above the target, and the aircraft contacted the surface 10 ft beyond the threshold at the same speed. The touchdown rate was hard at minus 450 fpm and the touchdown point was offset 25 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance was 663 ft, equivalent to 20 % of the runway, and the subsequent rollout maintained very good alignment.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 2nm taking 2 and used 0 lbs of fuel.
