A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 70 kt with 6.2° 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 523 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,222 m of runway left; then climbing at 370 fpm on average to 523 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.

Plan view the roll down the 3,626 m runway.

Rolled from 148 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 3.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.5 m left. 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.

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.

Seven checks, one gate500 ft
Gear down
Landing flap
Sink rate
On glideslope
On centreline
On speed
Wings level

At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 2° off the runway's 3° and centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: banked until 1.7 nm, no landing flap until 1.6 nm, sinking too fast until 1.3 nm, high until 1.1 nm, left of the centreline until 0.2 nm, slow from 0.6 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.

The approach to KTIW 17

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

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

High from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to 1.1 nm (up to 690 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, 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 43 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 26 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −20 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 (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 269° at 2 kt · 0 kt head · 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.

The stop

From 64 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 10 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 119 m in, 186 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 grew from 100 fpm at 9 ft to 200 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 2.5° 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.

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 approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA62, then departed from runway 16L at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA). The takeoff distance was 1,221 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 °.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of SeaTac. The climb started at an altitude of 928 feet above sea level and reached a height of 1,996 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,067 feet, in just 1 minute. This climb phase covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise phase then commenced overhead Des Moines, Washington, and lasted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 17 at Tacoma Narrows Airport (KTIW) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 189.0 ° at an altitude of 848 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 1,524 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 66 knots was well below the target speed, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling.

The touchdown distance was good at 115 meters, and the touchdown speed of 63 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was smooth at -142 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 °.

The total landing distance was 369 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
