What went well

Touched down at -117 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 335 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 23 ft and 73 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 %, bank angle up to 11.3 ° at 76 %, −1.01 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 12.02 m at 72 %, −0.52 points
Arrival Taxi — taxi lights, −0.21 points

Next time

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

See Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 78 kt with 6.6° 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 877 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 500 m of runway left; then climbing at 520 fpm on average to 877 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.

Rolled from 1,175 m in, drifted 6 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 70 % 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 approach to LFLU 19

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 120 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 4× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 2.8 nm, then drifted 90 m left between 2.8 and 2.2 nm, then inside the band from 2.2 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.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 8° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 0 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 66 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 33 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 23 ft, 27 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 335 m in, close to 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 170 fpm at 22 ft to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.9° on the way down.

How to read this

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,721 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 11 m right of the centreline, and steered back to 0.2 m right by the end of the rollout.

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.

Flight narrative

The flight in the Douglas DC-3 began at LFMT Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport, where the aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm. The departure roll was from runway 30R, with a takeoff distance of 634 m (25% of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 79 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 16 °C with a 1 kn wind coming from 269 °, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 1 kn.

The enroute climb began 1 mile east of Montpellier and took the aircraft from 912 ft asl to 4,980 ft asl, covering a total distance of 12 nm in 6 minutes. The level cruise portion of the flight began overhead Boisseron and lasted 39 minutes, covering 76 nm.

The enroute descent started 1 mile southwest of Guilherand-Granges, with the aircraft descending from 4,996 ft asl to 3,361 ft asl in 4 minutes and covering 11 nm. Another brief level cruise segment began overhead Chantemerle-les-Bles and lasted 7 minutes, covering 7 nm.

The landing took place on runway 19 at LFLU Valence-Chabeuil Airport, with a runway length of 1,721 m. The aircraft touched down 334 m from the threshold at a speed of 63 kn, with a VSI of -117 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was 15 °C with a 1 kn wind coming from 270 °, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn.

The total landing distance was 1,165 m, which was 68% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 117 nm, took 58 minutes, and used 261 kg of fuel.
