Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 100 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 80 kt, 20 kt before the 100 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 100 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 80 kt, 20 kt below the 100 kt target, and lifted off at 88 kt 2.4 s later, the nose coming up at 3.0° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 120 kt target, at 120 kt on average.

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 897 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 3,193 m of runway left; gear up at 38 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,030 fpm on average to 897 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.

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 stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 0.4 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.

The approach to OMDB 30L

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 70 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. 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 12× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then 12 m right of it from 0.4 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 all the way, between +9 kt and +15 kt on the approach speed of 89 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 flare84.98

The flare mostly held the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.3° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 625 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

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

Wind 130° at 4 kt · 4 kt tail · 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 1,792 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 71 ft, 21 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 34 ft. Touched down 625 m in, 320 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 1,792 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 420 fpm at the flare to 160 fpm at 10 ft, then back up to 400 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 1.3° 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 Cessna 414A taxied from the parking area to runway 31L at OMAA Zayed International Airport, a movement that required 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 31L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 674 m, representing 16 % of the runway length, and achieved liftoff at 88 kt. Local weather at the time was 33 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 360°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.

The en-route climb commenced overhead OMAA, climbing from 1,437 ft asl to 2,009 ft asl, an increase of 573 ft in 1 minutes while covering 3 nm.

Level cruise began over OMF1 Yas Island and continued for 37 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 122 nm.

The final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport was executed from the south-east, on a heading of 301.0° at 4 nm and 1,203 ft agl.

Landing on runway 30L, which is 4,304 m long, the threshold height of 71 ft agl and the threshold speed of 98 kt were both above target. Touchdown occurred 329 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 88 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 299 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 20.4 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 35 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 130°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 4 kt.

The landing roll measured a total distance of 1,831 m, equivalent to 43 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was off by 21.4 m from the centreline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 134 nm, taking 47 (units as recorded) and consumed 98 kg of fuel.
