What went well

Touched down at -116 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 265 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 13 ft and 75 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 94 %, −0.24 points
Departure Climb 3 — scored 98.96 %, −0.09 points

Next time

Arrival

Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 13 ft.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 13 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 305 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through the normal flare band.

See Arrival Landing

Trim is the hidden variable. In trim, the flare is a small refinement to an aircraft already in equilibrium, a couple of millimetres of stick. Out of trim, you're holding a constant force all the way down final, and the flare becomes a large, badly judged movement stacked on top of a load you're already carrying. A striking proportion of "I can't judge the flare" complaints are trim complaints wearing a disguise. If you're holding pressure at 500 feet, fix that before you practise anything else.

Rotated early

The nose came up at 78 kt, 9 kt before the 87 kt rotate speed.

The rotate speed is set for the weight and the flap, and the nose should not start up before it. Lifting it early brings the aircraft to its liftoff attitude with less speed in hand, and on a long fuselage that is the tail-strike case. Keep the hands still until the speed is there, then make one smooth, continuous pull.

Plan view the roll down the 1,800 m runway.

Rolled from 810 m in, never more than 0.7 m off the centreline. Airborne 50 % 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.

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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

The flare took all the sink out 13 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft then dropped the rest of the way, 305 fpm of sink coming back. Touchdown was 265 m past the threshold. It was on speed over the threshold, so this was more back pressure than the speed could take: raise the nose more slowly and stop as soon as the sink is checked. Once it has ballooned, hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing.

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 1,524 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.

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 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

Flight narrative

The Kodiak 100 taxied to runway 08 at EGBP Cotswold Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 937 m which represents 52 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 82 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt; crosswind was nil and a tailwind component of 2 kt was present.

During the approach the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 08, covering less than 1 nm in 26 seconds. The subsequent right-hand crosswind leg was also under 1 nm and lasted 9 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 2 nm with a 45° angle to the runway and a heading change of 54.5°. The downwind leg itself measured 1 nm and was completed in 36 seconds. The base-leg turn covered another 2 nm, again at a 45° angle, with a heading change of 96.3°. The base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 13 seconds, followed by a final turn of 2 nm completed in 98 seconds before aligning for landing on runway 26.

Landing was executed on runway 26, whose length is 1,786 m. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 76 kt. Touchdown occurred 264 m down the runway at 67 kt with a vertical speed of minus 31 fpm, and alignment was recorded as perfect. The total landing distance measured 555 m, representing 31 % of the runway length. Weather at the time remained 16 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt, no crosswind, and a headwind component of 2 kt.

Runway rollout alignment remained perfect as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.

In total the flight covered 8 nm, required 6 minutes, and consumed 10 kg of fuel.
