Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 64 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

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.

Lifted off at 66 kt with 4.2° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 957 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 3,645 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,480 fpm on average to 957 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 1,441 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 12 ft at the widest, and lifted off 12 ft left. Airborne 32 % 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.8 nm, about 1,150 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 500 ft gate.

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 LOWI 08

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

Profile height against the 3.5° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

High from 2.4 nm, where the final began, to 1.9 nm (up to 860 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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: 3.5° here, which is about 370 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. 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −9 kt and +13 kt on the approach speed of 70 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.

Wind 213° at 2 kt · 1 kt tail · 1 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 39 ft, 11 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 668 ft in, 332 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 490 fpm at 28 ft to 110 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 6.2° 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 a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Van's RV-14, then departed from runway 08 at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI). The takeoff distance was 733 feet, which accounted for 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 67 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 219°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport and rising from an altitude of 2,909 feet above sea level to 5,268 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,359 feet in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Natters, a town in the Tirol region of Austria. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, during which the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 5,177 feet above sea level to 3,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,171 feet.

The final approach to runway 08 at Innsbruck Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 80.0° at an altitude of 1,089 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 53 knots and a touchdown distance of 661 feet. The touchdown rate was excellent at -73 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 213°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,708 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 9 nautical miles and took 11 minutes to complete, using 6 pounds of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled takeoff, climb, descent, and landing, with good weather conditions throughout.
