Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 12 m off the centreline, and that kind of runway drift usually carries into a wandering heading through Climb 1 and Climb 2 before the wings pick up excess bank by Climb 3.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level with the runway heading held through the climb

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Add power on final to keep the approach speed at 76 kt rather than letting it decay before the threshold.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 64 kt, 12 kt below the target, and touchdown followed with a firm, high sink rate arrival. Crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown as the flare runs out of energy.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 76 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 65 kt with 5.5° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 136 kt, 11 kt over its 125 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.

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.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 300 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.

At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set.

Still turning onto final at the lower gate, so the centreline and wings level are not asked there - the aeroplane was not lined up yet, and was banked because it was turning. The other checks are marked as usual.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.8 nm, about 380 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 300 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.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 70 ft above 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.

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 flare92.03

The flare held the target profile well. The flare arrested the sink and then let it come back - 512 fpm of it - so the aircraft dropped the last few feet. Touchdown was 73 m past the threshold. Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 358° at 6 kt · 6 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 1,293 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 15 ft, 87 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 5 ft, 45 ft below the 50 ft target; ballooned 3 ft from 3 ft. Touched down 73 m in, 232 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 1,293 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 140 fpm before coming down at 180 fpm to touch. The nose came up 2.6° 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

The Extra 330 taxied to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and departed, using 178 m of runway (14 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 64 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 12 °C, wind 5 kt from 360°, with no cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 40 seconds, averaging 859 fpm and reaching 134 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then levelled at 1 100 ft asl for about 3 minutes, covering 7 nm and passing overhead Reichelsheim.

During final approach to runway 36, descent began from 453 ft agl and reached 30 ft agl in 50 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were: gear down - met; sink rate - met; on glideslope - met; on speed - met; landing flap - not met.

The aircraft touched down on runway 36. Threshold speed was slightly below target at 64 kt. Flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 73 m from the threshold at 61 kt with a rate of -177 fpm. A single bounce was observed. Touchdown position was 3.7 m off centreline. Total landing distance was 411 m (32 % of runway) and rollout alignment was very good.

Local weather at landing was temperature 12 °C, wind 5 kt from 358°, with no cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.

The flight covered 9 nm in 5 minutes and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
