Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 121 kt with 5.1° 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 829 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 644 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,900 fpm on average to 829 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 1,826 m runway.

Rolled from 762 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 2.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.1 m right. Airborne 55 % 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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.4 nm, about 150 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate.

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.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 480 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. 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 180 m right of the centreline, then inside the band from 3.7 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 56 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 34 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 3.7 nm (up to +64 kt), then inside the band to 1.2 nm, then slow to 0.7 nm (up to −9 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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.

Great landing flare

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° left of the track, 6° of bank.

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 100 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 13 s, an average deceleration of 0.29 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 10 ft, 40 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 202 m in, 103 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

From 9 ft the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 170 fpm before coming down at 440 fpm to touch. The nose went down 5.9° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the departure roll from runway 23 at Greeneville Municipal Airport (KGCY), where the Aero L-39 Albatros took off with a takeoff distance of 1,027 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 121 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius.

As the aircraft climbed out of Greeneville, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport, rising from an altitude of 2,480 feet above sea level to 5,456 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,976 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 4 miles southwest of Greeneville, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Parrottsville, where the aircraft descended from 5,445 feet above sea level to 2,710 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,735 feet in 3 minutes, while covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise 5 miles south of Newport, maintaining a steady altitude for 4 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 28 at Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport (KGKT) from the east, heading 275.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 792 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 1,567 meters. Although the threshold height was good, the threshold speed was too high at 106 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 200 meters, but the touchdown speed of 97 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 616 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.4 meters from the centreline.

The total flight distance was 42 nautical miles, which was completed in 12 minutes, and the aircraft used 59 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
