Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Lifted off at 73 kt with 6.9° 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.

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.

The approach to CYTB 26

The final from 4 nm.

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

High from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to 1.3 nm (up to 340 ft over), then back on it to 0.4 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 80 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.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 271° at 2 kt · 2 kt head · 0 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 4,481 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 2 ft, 48 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 121 ft in, 879 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 4,481 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 80 fpm at 1 ft to 30 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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 a departure roll from runway 26 at CYTB Tillsonburg, a small airport in Ontario, Canada. The aircraft, a Douglas DC-3, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,651 feet, which was 37% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 73 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions consisting of a temperature of 60°F and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of the CNQ4 Tillsonburg Airport, where the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,713 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 3,134 feet, a gain of 1,422 feet in just 3 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the enroute descent phase commenced 4 miles north of the CNQ4 Tillsonburg Airport. The aircraft descended from 3,127 feet above sea level to 1,606 feet, a decrease of 1,521 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase marked the beginning of the aircraft's return to the airport.

The final approach to runway 26 at CYTB Tillsonburg was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 248.0° at an altitude of 703 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 75 knots, at 74 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 112 feet, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 74 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect, with a rate of -29 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on.

The total landing distance was 2,149 feet, which was 48% of the runway's total length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing phase were similar to those encountered during the takeoff phase, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270°.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 11 nautical miles, which was covered in 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -2 pounds of fuel during the flight, indicating a slight fuel consumption. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the aircraft performing well within the expected parameters.
