Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 74 kt with 8.3° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 667 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,021 m of runway left; then climbing at 790 fpm on average to 667 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.

Plan view the roll down the 2,039 m runway.

Rolled from 466 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 6.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.3 m left. Airborne 42 % 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 LEBB 30

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3.4° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 50 ft under).

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: 3.4° here, which is about 360 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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 6× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 1.6 nm, then drifted 51 m left between 1.6 and 1.3 nm, then back inside it from 1.3 to 0.4 nm, then 15 m left of it from 0.4 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

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

Wind 260° at 4 kt · 3 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.

The stop

From 62 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 36 s, an average deceleration of 0.05 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.

Crossed the threshold at 23 ft, 27 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 539 m in, 234 m past 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 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 390 fpm at 22 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.7° 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.

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 Douglas DC-3 started with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport. The departure roll on runway 27 covered 1 nm, with a takeoff distance of 388 m, representing 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 14 °C with a wind speed of 13 kn at 260°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kn and a headwind of 13 kn.

The enroute climb began over Biarritz (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France), with the aircraft climbing from 916 ft asl to 3,032 ft asl, gaining 2,116 ft in 3 minutes and covering 6 nm. The subsequent level cruise started 1 mile north of Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France) and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nm.

Another climb phase commenced over Hendaye (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France), taking the aircraft from 3,502 ft asl to 5,313 ft asl, an increase of 1,811 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 5 nm. This was followed by a 14-minute level cruise starting overhead Lezo (Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa, Spain), covering 30 nm.

The descent phase began over Berriz (Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa, Spain), descending from 5,835 ft asl to 1,583 ft asl, a total decrease of 4,253 ft in 9 minutes over 14 nm. The final approach to runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport was executed from the southeast at a heading of 295.0 °, at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,455 ft agl.

The landing on runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport was carried out with a runway length of 2,130 m. The height at the threshold was 24 ft agl, and the speed at the threshold was 78 kn. The touchdown occurred 536 m from the threshold, at a speed of 63 kn and a VSI of -81 ft/m. The local weather during landing was 15 °C, with a wind speed of 4 kn at 259°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kn and a headwind of 3 kn. The total landing distance covered was 1,358 m, representing 64% of the runway.

After landing, a 4-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area was completed, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance for the journey was 67 nm, with a total duration of 44 minutes. The aircraft consumed 159 kg of fuel during the flight.
