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 80 kt with 3.4° 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.

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.

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 crosswind

8 kt across from the left, which takes about 9° of crab to hold the centreline at 54 kt. Touched down with the nose 10° into wind, wings level.

Wind 011° at 10 kt · 6 kt tail · 8 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 13 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 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.

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 917 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.

The sink went from 270 fpm at 20 ft to 100 fpm at 9 ft, then back up to 250 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.0° 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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at LSGK Saanen Airfield, a DHC-2 Beaver aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance covered 523 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 80 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent.

As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 26 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Saanen, Canton de Berne, Switzerland, where the aircraft ascended from 4,036 feet above sea level to 4,787 feet, an increase of 751 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began 3 miles northeast of Saanen, where the aircraft descended from 4,788 feet to 3,434 feet, a decrease of 1,354 feet in 4 minutes, covering another 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield was initiated from the northwest, heading 120.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 122 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 14 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 202 meters, which was good considering the runway length of 917 meters. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 58 knots, while the touchdown speed was 54 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -251 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 11 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 495 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 24.5 meters from the centerline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, which was completed in 8 minutes, using 11 kilograms of fuel.
