Know your rotation speed

See Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 209 kt with 5.8° 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 952 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,441 m of runway left; then climbing at 3,240 fpm on average to 952 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 2,288 m runway.

Rolled from 37 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 20 m at the widest, and lifted off 20 m left, in 22 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 26 % 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.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

Seven checks, one gate500 ft
Gear down
Landing flap
Sink rate

On speed
Wings level

At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, centreline more than 1° off, wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 21 kt above the approach speed of 140 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way, right of the centreline until 1.4 nm, gear up until 1.3 nm, banked until 1.1 nm and sinking too fast until 0.8 nm.

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.

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 356 m right of the centreline at 1.8 nm, then inside the band from 1.4 nm to the threshold.

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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +89 kt).

How to read this

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

3 kt across from the left, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 161 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 200° at 7 kt · 6 kt head · 3 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 154 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 s, an average deceleration of 0.40 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.

Crossed the threshold at 33 ft, 17 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 357 m in, 53 m past 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 1,524 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 610 fpm at 32 ft to 300 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.8° 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.

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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31 at EGOV Anglesey Airport, where the Typhoon took off with a takeoff distance of 579 meters, which is 25% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 210 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 28 knots at 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 26 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of Valley, Anglesey, Wales, from an altitude of 1,050 feet above sea level to 22,745 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,695 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile southwest of Trefriw, Conwy, Wales, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Llandyrnog, Denbighshire, Wales, from an altitude of 22,357 feet above sea level to 6,477 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,880 feet in 2 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The enroute climb started again overhead Ellesmere Port, Cheshire West and Chester, England, from an altitude of 6,058 feet above sea level to 25,626 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,567 feet in 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.

The enroute descent then started 1 mile west of Rainford, St. Helens, England, from an altitude of 25,605 feet above sea level to 1,121 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,485 feet in 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again overhead Stockton Heath, Warrington, England, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport was made from the north-east, heading 231.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 301 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23R, which has a length of 2,434 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 170 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 358 meters, and the touchdown speed was 161 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -285 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 191 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,017 meters, which is 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 100 nautical miles, and the flight took 20 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,462 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
