What held you back

  • Arrival Touchdown · sink rate 181 fpm−0.44

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was a little below target at 78 kt at 73 %, −0.75 points

Next time

Arrival

Add power on final to keep the approach speed at 94 kt rather than letting it decay before the threshold.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 78 kt, 16 kt below the target, and touchdown followed with a firm, high sink rate arrival. Crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown as the flare runs out of energy.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 94 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 80 kt, 6 kt below the 86 kt target, and lifted off at 85 kt 2.3 s later, the nose coming up at 2.5° a second.

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 figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

The approach to EGPE 23

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.3 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 70 ft below 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, 305 m 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.

Inside the 1° band from 1.3 nm, where the final began, to 1.1 nm, then drifted 53 m right between 1.1 and 0.7 nm, then inside the band from 0.7 nm to the threshold.

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 47 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 28 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Slow from 1.3 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to −16 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 flare88.22

The flare mostly held the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 2.8° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 395 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 0 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 71 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 29 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 35 ft, 15 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft. Touched down 395 m in, 90 m past the ideal 305 m.

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 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m 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 280 fpm at the flare to 50 fpm at 7 ft, then back up to 180 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.6° 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.

Flight narrative

The Pilatus PC-12 departed from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. Take-off was performed on a 1,445 m runway, using 77 % of its length. Rotation occurred at 80 kt. Local weather at departure was 16 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and 1 kt cross-wind.

Initial climb to 400 ft agl lasted 48 seconds, averaging 818 fpm and reaching 122 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then entered a left-hand circuit for runway 23. The downwind leg was 4 nm long and was flown in 111 seconds at 950 ft agl. The base leg was less than 1 nm and was completed in 32 seconds.

On final approach to runway 23, descent from 409 ft agl to 43 ft agl took 59 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway showed gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, and wings level were met; centreline and speed were not met.

Landing was on runway 23, whose length is 1,866 m. Threshold speed was slightly below target at 78 kt. The flare was described as very good, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 395 m from the threshold at 72 kt and a rate of -181 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was perfect, and no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,095 m, representing 59 % of the runway.

Local weather at landing was 15 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and 1 kt cross-wind. The total flight covered 12 nm in 7 minutes and consumed 20 kg of fuel.
