Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft drifted 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3.2° of bank in the first climb segment and 1.7° still showing in the second.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

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 69 kt with 3.9° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to 397 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 734 m of runway left; then climbing at 830 fpm on average to 397 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.

Plan view the roll down the 1,279 m runway.

Rolled from 168 m in, drifted 13 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 33 % 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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.

At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.3 nm, about 180 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.

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 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 160 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 4× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 2.0 nm, then drifted 87 m left between 2.0 and 0.3 nm, then inside the band from 0.3 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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +5 kt and +23 kt on the approach speed of 64 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

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 6° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 129° at 5 kt · 4 kt head · 2 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 56 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 400 m in, 95 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 410 fpm at 56 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.3° 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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,763 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down on the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 4.1 m left at the widest.

How to read this

The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C182, then departed from runway 33L at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA). The takeoff distance was 269 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 69 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. After departing from KSBA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Goleta in California. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 451 feet above sea level to 2,943 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,491 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the city of Santa Barbara. This phase lasted for 28 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south of the town of Chatsworth. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,567 feet above sea level to 1,974 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,593 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the Hollywood Burbank Airport (KBUR), it began its final approach to runway 08 from the west. The aircraft was heading at 91.0° and was 4 nautical miles away from the runway at an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at KBUR were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 129°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.

The aircraft landed on runway 08 at KBUR, which had a length of 1,763 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 70 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 399 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 59 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 77 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
