Next time

Departure

Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.

What happened: Bank increased to 3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 2.3° into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level

See Departure Climb 2Departure 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 99 kt with 7.0° 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 977 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 886 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,450 fpm on average to 977 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 1,477 m runway.

Rolled from 163 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 6.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.4 m left, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 31 % 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

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.

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

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: banked until 3.3 nm, high until 0.2 nm, fast from 0.8 nm, sinking too fast from 0.5 nm and left of the centreline from 0.3 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 BIIS 26

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

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 1.2 nm, then high to 0.2 nm (up to 300 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 2,364 m right of the centreline, then inside it from 0.5 to 0.3 nm, then 13 m left of it 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.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 0.8 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +31 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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

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

Wind 230° at 12 kt · 12 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 1,389 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 12 ft, 38 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 223 m in, 82 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 1,389 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 290 fpm at 12 ft to 150 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.4° 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.

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 to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 01 at BIRK Reykjavik Airport. The takeoff distance was 464 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of -1 °C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 339 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 4,512 feet above sea level, increasing its altitude by 3,458 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The enroute climb started overhead SB19 Reykjavik Reykjavik, and the aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise. This cruise phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 84 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 3 miles west of Grundarhverfi. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which started 11 miles north of BIRE Reykhólar Airport. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,307 feet to 1,494 feet in 5 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.

The descent was followed by another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of BIAE Arngerðareyri Airport and lasted for 11 minutes. This cruise phase covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at BIIS Ísafjörður Airport was made from the north east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 241.0 ° and an altitude of 334 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 26 was successful, with the touchdown speed being 86 knots and the touchdown rate being -170 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 222 meters, which was good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 °C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 230 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 516 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 133 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 114 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
