A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 77 kt with 5.6° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to 433 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 438 m of runway left; then climbing at 980 fpm on average to 433 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.

Plan view the roll down the 1,193 m runway.

Rolled from 19 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 12 m at the widest, and lifted off 7.2 m left, in 11 kn of crosswind from the left. 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. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

The approach to KSBP 29

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3.3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 130 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: 3.3° here, which is about 350 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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 52× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 2 m off the centreline.

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 straight, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 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 57 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 6 s, an average deceleration of 0.26 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 1,464 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 29 ft, 21 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 386 m in, 82 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 1,464 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.

From 29 ft the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 170 fpm before coming down at 100 fpm to touch. The nose came up 7.1° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Pesim FPV Drone Racer taxiing from the parking area to the runway at L88 New Cuyama, a process that took 11 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the drone took off from runway 10, covering a distance of 589 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 78 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots blowing from 352°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots. The drone then began its enroute climb, starting overhead L88 New Cuyama, and climbed from an altitude of 2,646 feet above sea level to 6,228 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,582 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the drone entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles south of 5CN4 Vosburgh Airfield, and lasted for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The drone then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles southwest of KLOS Lost Hills Airport, and descended from 6,117 feet above sea level to 4,227 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,890 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.

The drone then entered another level cruise, starting 12 miles northeast of Nipomo, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The drone then began its final descent, starting 8 miles northeast of Los Berros, and descended from 4,227 feet above sea level to 1,681 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,546 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 29 at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport was made from the southeast, heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,499 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 57 knots, a touchdown distance of 384 meters, and a smooth touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot blowing from 270°.

The total landing distance was 492 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 67 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 15 kilograms.
