See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 39 kt with 6.9° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 71 kt, 15 kt under its 86 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 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 615 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 600 m of runway left; then climbing at 640 fpm on average to 615 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 1,567 m runway.

Rolled from 654 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 11 m at the widest, and lifted off 11 m right, in 8 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 50 % 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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

Sink rate790 fpm
On glideslope5.5°
On centreline2.0° off

Wings level5° bank

At the 500 ft gate: glideslope more than 2° off the runway's 3° and centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way, left of the centreline until 0.5 nm and high until 0.4 nm.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

The approach to KGKT 28

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

High from 1.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.4 nm (up to 510 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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

Joined 573 m right of the centreline at 1.9 nm, then drifted 88 m left between 1.3 and 0.5 nm, then inside the band from 0.5 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 25 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 15 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +28 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.

Wind 010° at 13 kt · 0 kt tail · 13 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 55 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 12 s, an average deceleration of 0.11 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 41 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 18 ft. Touched down 294 m in, close to 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 470 fpm at the flare to 170 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° 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

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport (KGKT) took approximately 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, utilizing 52% of the 818-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 39 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a wind of 11 knots at 46°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.

The enroute climb phase began overhead Sevierville, Tennessee, where the aircraft ascended from 1,634 feet above sea level to 1,579 feet, an increase of 55 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. Subsequent climbs and level cruises took place, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 2,961 feet above sea level. The descent phase began 2 miles north of King Airport (TN72), where the aircraft descended from 3,024 feet to 1,722 feet, a decrease of 1,302 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 28 at KGKT was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 281.0° at 1 nautical mile and 694 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a touchdown distance of 293 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 50 knots was slightly excessive, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters. The total landing distance was 526 meters, accounting for 34% of the 1,567-meter runway. The aircraft then rolled out, with the runway rollout alignment slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.6 meters. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, taking approximately 11 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 1 kilogram of fuel.
