What went well

Touched down at -81 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 48 ft and 85 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 3.85 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 14.82 m right at 66 %, −1.72 points
Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; climb speed 114 kt against 90 kt at 68 %, −1.05 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 619 m at 82 %, −0.29 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 90 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 24 kt fast at 114 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 90 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.

What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 15 m off the centreline.

Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout

See Arrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 83 kt, 13 kt above the 70 kt target, and lifted off at 90 kt 1.0 s later, the nose coming up at 0.8° a second. Climb 3 averaged 114 kt, 24 kt over its 90 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.

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.

The flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 619 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The crosswind

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

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 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.

The stop

From 64 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 33 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 48 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 25 ft. Touched down 619 m in, 314 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 1,524 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 570 fpm at the flare to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 7.1° 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 Piper PA-28 Arrow III taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft achieved a takeoff distance of 594 m, representing 24 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 91 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind component.

During the approach phase the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 41 seconds, then proceeded to a left-hand crosswind leg of less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. A downwind turn was flown for 1 nm with a 45° angle to the runway measured at 29.9°. The final approach to runway 05 was executed from the southwest on a heading of 49.0°, descending to 0 nm and 97 ft AGL. Weather at this stage was 18 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 217°, producing a 4 kt cross-wind and a 15 kt tail-wind component.

The aircraft touched down on runway 05, whose length is 2,488 m, with a threshold speed reported as well above the target at 85 kt. Touchdown occurred 179 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 64 kt and a vertical rate of minus 46 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 4.2 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance recorded was 1,294 m, equivalent to 52 % of the runway.

Rollout continued with the aircraft remaining slightly off the centreline by 14.8 m as it decelerated along the runway. No further deviations were noted before the aircraft completed the landing sequence.

In total the flight covered 5 nm, required 4 units of time as reported, and consumed 104 kg of fuel.
