Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 505 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 456 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 97 kt, 3 kt above the 94 kt target, and lifted off at 104 kt 2.6 s later, the nose coming up at 1.3° a second. Climb 3 averaged 132 kt, 7 kt over its 125 kt target.

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 figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. 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 791 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 862 m of runway left; gear up at 28 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,220 fpm on average to 791 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 1,527 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 5.4 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 29 % 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. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.6 nm, about 240 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 2.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 80 ft above 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. 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 242 m left of the centreline at 2.6 nm, then inside the band from 1.8 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 45 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 2.6 nm, where the final began, to 0.9 nm, then slow to 0.7 nm (up to −14 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 flare87.86

The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 4 times on the way down. Touchdown was 120 m past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 198° at 2 kt · 2 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.

Side view — the last 750 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 42 ft, 208 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 120 m in, 185 m short of 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 750 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 1,760 fpm at the flare to 460 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.

Flight narrative

The Beechcraft Duke departed from LDVA Varaždin Airfield on runway 16. The take-off roll was 449 m, 29 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 97 kt. Local weather at departure was 14 °C, wind 13 kt from 180°, with a 4 kt crosswind and a 12 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 35 seconds, averaging 1,072 fpm and reaching 138 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 1,371 ft asl to 9,865 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering 19 nm and passing overhead Zbelava. Level flight at 10,000 ft asl continued for 8 minutes over 26 nm, starting overhead Stara Cesta. Descent from 10,000 ft asl to 6,014 ft asl took 7 minutes over 19 nm, beginning overhead Ehrenhausen.

A subsequent climb from 5,994 ft asl to 6,842 ft asl lasted 2 minutes and covered 4 nm, starting 1 mile south-east of Gressenberg. Level flight at 7,300 ft asl continued for 2 minutes over 4 nm, starting 3 miles west of Gressenberg. The final descent from 7,083 ft asl to 2,354 ft asl took 4 minutes, covering 10 nm, beginning 3 miles north of Gemmersdorf.

The approach to runway 18 at LOKW Wolfsberg Airfield began with a descent from 943 ft agl to 111 ft agl in 96 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Gear was down at 437 ft agl and 107 kt; the final flap position 2 was selected at 564 ft agl and 100 kt.

Landing was made on runway 18, whose length is 750 m. The threshold speed was 86 kt. The flare was described as great, though the pitch was pumped up and down. Touchdown occurred at 79 kt, 120 m down the runway, with a hard rate of -456 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was perfect. One bounce occurred on touchdown. Total landing distance was 483 m, 64 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

Local weather at landing was 12 °C, wind 3 kt from 202°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 87 nm in 36 minutes and used 62 kg of fuel.
