Next time

Departure

On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.

What happened: On the roll the aircraft drifted 24 ft off the centreline, and heading then varied by -1.4° through the first climb segment; drifting off centreline on the roll like this usually carries a heading variation into the climb, which in turn usually carries extra bank into the second climb segment, seen here as 12°.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level and track straight through the climb

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Correct early: make small aileron corrections toward a point at the far end of the runway to regain the centreline before the gate.

What happened: This flight drifted off the centreline on approach, stayed off it through the landing, touched down 83 ft off centreline, and rolled out 77 ft off runway alignment. Drifting off the centreline early on approach usually carries all the way through to the rollout like this.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the extended runway centreline from approach through rollout.

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival TouchdownArrival Rollout

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.

Lifted off at 61 kt with 1.9° 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.

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.

Plan view the roll down the 2,823 ft runway.

Rolled from 1,106 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 16 ft at the widest, and lifted off 17 ft left, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 47 % 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 flare97.33

Excellent landing flare. It lost 2.7 points, for the nose going up and down 3 times.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 3° right of the track, 2° of bank.

Wind 187° at 5 kt

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 43 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 7 s, an average deceleration of 0.11 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.

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 2,077 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.

Flight narrative

The Kitfox STI taxied to runway 28 at CFY4 Winters Aire Park Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,431 ft, representing 51 % of the runway, and lifted off at 62 kt. Ambient conditions were 48 °F with a wind from 187° at 6 kt, a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.

Climbing from the departure field, the airplane rose from 3,600 ft asl to 5,153 ft asl, a gain of 1,553 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering 2 nm overhead CFY4 Winters Aire Park Airport Indus, Alberta, Canada.

Level cruise began approximately 1 mile north of CFY4 and continued for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 7 nm at a steady altitude.

During final approach to runway 36 at CFX8 Chestermere (Kirkby Field) Airport, the descent proceeded from 1,232 ft agl to 16 ft agl in 64 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates criteria.

The landing was executed on runway 36, whose length is 2,077 ft. The threshold speed recorded was 39 kt, well below the target, and touchdown occurred 114 ft down the runway at 36 kt with a descent rate of minus 193 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 83 ft from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 415 ft, equal to 20 % of the runway.

Rollout alignment remained off-centre by 86 ft from the centreline as the aircraft decelerated and exited the runway.

In total, the flight covered 10 nm, took 9 minutes, and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.
