See Departure Roll

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 82 kt with 8.7° 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 480 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,072 ft of runway left; then climbing at 850 fpm on average to 480 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 4,934 ft runway.

Rolled from 1,800 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 9 ft at the widest, and lifted off 9 ft left, in 11 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 56 % 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 approach to 6D9 26

The final from 4 nm.

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 420 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, 1,000 ft 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.

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 all the way, between +3 kt and +69 kt on the approach speed of 90 kt.

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

8 kt across from the right, which takes about 6° of crab to hold the centreline at 80 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 312° at 11 kt · 6 kt head · 8 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 79 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 14 s, an average deceleration of 0.20 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 4,749 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.

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 began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Baron 58P, then departed from runway 28 at KHYX Saginaw County H.W. Browne Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,032 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,104 feet above sea level to 2,072 feet above sea level, an increase of 968 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles northeast of Zilwaukee, Michigan, and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 45 nautical miles. The descent phase began 4 miles south of Tawas City, Michigan, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,885 feet above sea level to 1,686 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,199 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting 2 miles east of 6D9 Iosco Co East Tawas Airport, Michigan, and lasting for 4 minutes, during which it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 26 at 6D9 Iosco Co Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 260.0° at an altitude of 756 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 26 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 80 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,331 feet. The touchdown rate was excellent at -73 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 312°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,443 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 62 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 93 pounds of fuel during the flight.
