Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 7.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

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 99 kt with 8.4° 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 1,041 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,051 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,530 fpm on average to 1,041 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 3,045 m runway.

Rolled from 103 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 7.3 m at the widest, and lifted off 7.3 m left. Airborne 25 % 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.

When the approach was stable

Not every check held at once from 1.1 nm to the threshold.

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 KOSU 09R

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 11× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 33 m off the centreline.

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 45 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.1 nm, then fast to 0.3 nm (up to +26 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.

Excellent landing flare

The crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 92 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, 3° of bank.

Wind 179° at 4 kt · 0 kt tail · 4 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 1,520 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 6 ft, 44 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 55 m in, 249 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 1,520 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 grew from 30 fpm at 6 ft to 450 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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

Departing from Indianapolis International Airport, the Beechcraft Duke began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 05R, the crew prepared for departure, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 12 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt. With a crosswind of 4 kt, the aircraft took off, covering a distance of 771 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 99 kt, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude.

As the Beechcraft Duke climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Indianapolis International Airport, rising from 1,865 feet above sea level to 13,011 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The crew then leveled off, cruising for 24 minutes and covering 98 nautical miles, before beginning its descent to a lower altitude. The descent started 1 mile northwest of Lawrenceville, Ohio, and took 7 minutes to complete, covering 25 nautical miles and decreasing the altitude from 13,008 feet to 2,699 feet. The aircraft then leveled off again, cruising for a short period before beginning its final descent.

The Beechcraft Duke's final approach to runway 09R at The Ohio State University Airport - Don Scott Field was from the west, with a heading of 88.0° and an altitude of 1,051 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, covering a distance of 54 meters and landing at a speed of 92 kt. The touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a short distance. The total flight distance was 158 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 94 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 58 minutes.
