What went well

Touched down at -74 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,534 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.5 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 77 kt at 38 %, −1.10 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 39.2 ft at 68 %, −0.72 points
Departure Climb 2 — bank angle up to 11.7 ° at 75 %, −0.71 points

See Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

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 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.

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, 1,000 ft 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.

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.

Inside the speed band from 0.6 nm, where the final began, to 0.4 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +25 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

4 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 59 kt. Touched down with the nose 5° into wind, wings level.

Wind 330° at 13 kt · 12 kt head · 4 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 53 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 10 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 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.

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 4,002 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 03 at the 3W2 Put In Bay Airport. The aircraft, a DV20, took off with a takeoff distance of 92 feet, which accounted for 5% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 53 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the 3W2 Put In Bay Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 666 feet above sea level to 1,224 feet, an increase of 559 feet, in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 36 at KPCW Carl R Keller Field was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 358.0 degrees at an altitude of 114 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 36 was notable for a threshold speed that was excessively high at 77 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 1,533 feet. However, the touchdown speed of 59 knots was too fast, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 2,187 feet, which accounted for 55% of the runway.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 3 pounds of fuel during the flight.
