Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 32°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 10 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 10 ft, but 273 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

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

Lifted off at 167 kt with 6.3° 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.

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.

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.

Wings level

At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°, centreline more than 1° off, wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 23 kt above the approach speed of 152 kt.

When the approach was stable

Not every check held at once from 1.9 nm to the threshold.

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.

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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

Fast from 1.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.8 nm (up to +45 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 crosswind

Wind 209° at 13 kt · 6 kt head · 12 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 5,233 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 52 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 2,533 ft in, 1,533 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,233 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.

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 Avro Vulcan B2 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Quonset State Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 3,716 feet, which was 52% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 209°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Quonset State Airport, rising from an altitude of 843 feet above sea level to 9,971 feet, an increase of 9,128 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated 2 miles east of Quonset State Airport. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 10,472 feet to 11,961 feet, an increase of 1,489 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The climb phase started overhead Warren, Rhode Island.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 11 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile northeast of Rehoboth, Massachusetts. The aircraft then started its descent phase, descending from 11,482 feet to 960 feet, a decrease of 10,522 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead Stoughton, Massachusetts.

After the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. This phase started 1 mile east of East Greenwich, Rhode Island. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16 at Quonset State Airport, approaching from the northwest at a heading of 149.0°, 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 589 feet above ground level.

The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 1,899 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 5,698 feet, which was 80% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 44 feet from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 71 nautical miles, taking approximately 32 minutes, and the aircraft used 16,392 pounds of fuel.
