Improve the pattern base leg turn

See Pattern Base Leg Turn

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.

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 circuit to EGPO 36

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.

Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 1.7 nm out at 174 kt

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.

Around the circuit height and bank; the turns are shaded

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.

Rough: the G force varied more than a smooth turn and leg would.

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.

High on downwind: 1,171 ft against 1,000 ft, 171 ft above.

Downwind. Parallel to the runway, opposite the landing direction, at pattern altitude and roughly 90 kt. The single most important moment of the entire circuit is the point abeam your intended touchdown point. Power back (around 1,700 RPM in a 172 works as a starting value to calibrate), first stage of flap, pre-landing flow, and re-trim. Everything from abeam to touchdown is one continuous energy problem. Arrive at the abeam point high or fast and you'll pay for it ninety seconds later in the flare, which is why analysing only the touchdown so often misdiagnoses the fault.

The approach to EGPO 36

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 1.6 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 130 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, 1,000 ft 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.

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.

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 crosswind

9 kt across from the right, which takes about 6° of crab to hold the centreline at 81 kt. Touched down with 6° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 030° at 20 kt · 16 kt head · 9 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 63 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.21 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 15 ft, 35 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 643 ft in, 357 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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 200 fpm at 14 ft to 90 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.3° 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.

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 Horten Ho229 aircraft was taxied from the parking area to the runway at EGPO Stornoway Airport, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 4 minutes. This brief taxiing period set the stage for the aircraft's subsequent flight operations.

As the aircraft prepared for departure, it rolled down runway 36, utilizing only 10% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was a relatively short 673 feet, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 86 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.

Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, navigating a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 8 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 12 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The pattern downwind leg covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 42 seconds, while the base leg turn required a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn radius of 7.5 degrees.

As the aircraft approached the runway for landing, it was flying at an altitude of 346 feet above ground level (agl) and a heading of 357.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway. The final approach was made from the south, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was found to be too high at 92 knots, and the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 81 knots.

Despite these minor issues, the touchdown distance was good at 638 feet, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -87 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,247 feet, which accounted for only 18% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. In total, the flight covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, consuming 48 pounds of fuel in the process.
