Departure

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

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.2°, 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

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 65 kt with 3.6° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 648 m of runway left; then climbing at 900 fpm on average to 970 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.4 to 0.4 nm, then not again: slow 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.

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 220 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.

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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 3.5 nm (up to +40 kt), then inside the band to 0.4 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −8 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 crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, 3° of bank.

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 55 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 6 s, an average deceleration of 0.24 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.

Crossed the threshold at 25 ft, 25 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 156 m in, 149 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 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 530 fpm at 26 ft to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.6° 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 in question was operated by a Cessna C182 aircraft. The pre-flight preparations and taxiing process took 35 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile from the parking area to the runway at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. The aircraft departed from runway 15L, with a takeoff distance of 357 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 65 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was zero. As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered a slight tailwind of 1 knot.

The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile east of Isla Vista, California, where the aircraft ascended from 1,008 feet above sea level to 2,971 feet, an increase of 1,963 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile west of Santa Barbara, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then initiated another climb, this time from 3,243 feet above sea level to 7,084 feet, an increase of 3,841 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 3 miles east of Carpinteria, lasting 8 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 7,441 feet above sea level to 5,678 feet, a decrease of 1,764 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started again 1 mile northwest of Moorpark, lasting 9 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.

The final descent began 1 mile northeast of Canoga Park, where the aircraft descended from 4,138 feet above sea level to 1,960 feet, a decrease of 2,178 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 08 at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport, flying at a heading of 93.0° and an altitude of 1,219 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 154 meters, which was 14% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 53 knots, and the touchdown rate was -198 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.

The total landing distance was 253 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 75 nautical miles, taking 44 minutes to complete, and consumed 21 kilograms of fuel.
