Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 111 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 103 kt against a target of 111 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 111 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

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 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 circuit to UBBQ 16

Left-hand, 1,000 ft circuit height. The plan shows your circuit over a textbook one for this runway; the profile unrolls the same path from liftoff to the threshold.

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.

Low: turned crosswind at 462 ft, below the 500 ft minimum.

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Steep: 43° of bank.

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

From abeam the threshold, fly roughly 30 to 45 seconds before turning base, in nil wind at 172 speeds. Treat that as a starting value and calibrate it. If your finals keep coming out at 400 ft instead of 500, add a few seconds. Then adjust for wind, roughly a second per knot of headwind on final (a headwind on final is a tailwind on downwind, carrying you further from the field per second).

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

Inside the glideslope band from 2.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 370 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.

Joined 644 m left of the centreline at 2.9 nm, then inside it from 1.5 to 0.6 nm, then 22 m left of it from 0.6 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 56 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 34 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −9 kt and +52 kt on the approach speed of 112 kt.

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 flare97.91

The flare tracked the target profile closely. Pitch reached 8.0° at touchdown, well above this type's ground attitude. Touchdown was 178 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

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

Wind 180° at 11 kt · 10 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 18 ft, 32 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 17 ft. Touched down 178 m in, 127 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 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.

The sink went from 510 fpm at the flare to 90 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.1° 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

Gabala International Airport (UBBQ) served as the departure point for the Honda HA420, which rolled out on runway 16 and required a takeoff distance of 1,410 m, representing 41 % of the available runway. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 121 kt under local conditions of 31 °C, with a wind of 11 kt from 179°, a crosswind component of 2 kt and a headwind of 10 kt. Immediately after departure, the aircraft entered a left‑hand pattern, completing the initial leg in less than 1 nm within 22 seconds, followed by a crosswind leg also less than 1 nm in 10 seconds. The downwind turn covered 2 nm with an angle to the runway of 86.9 °, and the downwind leg extended 3 nm, taking 56 seconds. The base leg turn spanned 3 nm with an angle to the runway of 6.9 °, after which the aircraft commenced its final approach from the north, maintaining a heading of 174.0 ° at 2 nm and 425 ft AGL.

The landing phase on runway 16 at UBBQ involved a threshold speed of 103 kt and a touchdown distance of 179 m. The touchdown speed was 98 kt, slightly above the target, and the touchdown rate was -232 fpm, considered fair. The touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline, yet the runway rollout alignment was described as very good. The total landing distance measured 1,069 m, accounting for 31 % of the runway length. Throughout the approach and landing, the aircraft maintained the same wind conditions as during takeoff: 11 kt from 179°, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 10 kt.

Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 13 nm, completing the mission in 5 minutes while consuming 26 kg of fuel. The sequence of takeoff, pattern entry, approach, and landing phases demonstrated consistent performance metrics within the operational parameters of the Honda HA420.
