See Arrival Rollout

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 88 kt with 3.7° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 598 m of runway left; then climbing at 940 fpm on average to 525 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted left of the centreline, 5.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 5.2 m left. Airborne 26 % 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 approach to EG78 09

The final from 4 nm.

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

High from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to 0.8 nm (up to 280 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Joined 258 m left of the centreline at 1.1 nm, then 52 m right of it 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.

The crosswind

5 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 82 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, 5° of bank.

Wind 340° at 6 kt · 2 kt tail · 5 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 367 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 8 ft, 42 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 144 m in, 161 m short of the ideal 305 m.

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 367 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 830 fpm at 7 ft to 40 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 1.7° 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.

Plan view — the full 367 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 1.6 m right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.3 m right at the widest.

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 flight in the P-750 XSTOL was a short hop from EGPB Sumburgh to EG78 Out Skerries, covering a total distance of 38 nm. The taxi from the parking to the runway was quick, taking only 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.

Departure was from runway 33 at EGPB Sumburgh. The takeoff distance was 438 m, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 88 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 15 °C with a wind of 6 kn at 340 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kn and a headwind of 6 kn.

During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 576 ft asl to 1,830 ft asl, an increase of 1,254 ft in 2 minutes and covering 4 nm. The enroute level cruise lasted for 12 minutes, covering 30 nm, starting 2 miles south of Sandwick in the Shetland Islands.

The landing was on runway 09 at EG78 Out Skerries, with a runway length of 367 m. The aircraft approached with a height at threshold of 9 ft agl and a speed of 92 kn. The touchdown point was 144 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 82 kn and a VSI of -61 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 16 °C with a wind of 6 kn at 339 °, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kn and a tailwind of 2 kn. The total landing distance was 354 m, which was 97% of the runway length.

Overall, the flight took 24 minutes and consumed 53 kg of fuel. The P-750 XSTOL performed well, demonstrating its short takeoff and landing capabilities in challenging conditions.
