Departure

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

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.1°, 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

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 61 kt with 4.3° 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 1,065 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,441 m of runway left; then climbing at 600 fpm on average to 1,065 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 3,042 m runway.

Rolled from 151 m in, drifted 3.9 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 14 % 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.

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 KEMT 19

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 2.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 210 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.

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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 199° at 4 kt · 4 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.

The stop

From 56 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 7 s, an average deceleration of 0.20 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 933 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.

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 taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C182, then departed from runway 06 at KSBD San Bernardino International Airport. The takeoff distance was 307 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 61 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 199 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was also 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Highland, California, and ascended from an altitude of 2,160 feet above sea level to 2,306 feet above sea level, an increase of 146 feet in 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Highland and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 2,325 feet above sea level to 1,726 feet above sea level, a decrease of 598 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent phase started overhead Charter Oak, California.

Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Azusa, California, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at KEMT San Gabriel Valley Airport was made from the northeast, heading 237.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 789 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 41 meters, which is 19% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 58 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 58 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -267 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 181 meters, and the total flight distance was 47 nautical miles, taking approximately 32 minutes. The aircraft used 16 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
