See Arrival Landing

High on final, the pilot dives to the aim point, converting altitude directly into airspeed, and arrives on-glideslope but 15 knots fast. The vertical profile looks fine; the speed trace does not. It is one of the reasons the stabilised-approach concept - configured, on speed, on path by a gate, commonly 1,000 ft in IMC and 500 ft in VMC - checks speed and path together, and why the tolerances airlines use are asymmetric, typically allowing more on the fast side than the slow, because slow kills faster than fast.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 120 kt with 5.2° 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.

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.

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.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

High from 1.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to 850 ft over).

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.

Joined 407 m left of the centreline at 1.6 nm, then inside the band from 1.2 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.

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

7 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 112 kt. Touched down with the nose 6° into wind, 2° of bank.

Wind 091° at 8 kt · 2 kt head · 7 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 104 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 8 s, an average deceleration of 0.49 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 1,298 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 2,460 fpm at 76 ft to 260 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.1° on the way down.

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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft King Air 350, then departed from runway 09 at the Ralph Wien Memorial Airport (PAOT) in Alaska, United States. The takeoff distance was 598 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile east of Kotzebue and reached an altitude of 11,730 feet above sea level, increasing by 10,864 feet in 14 minutes and covering 46 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise that started 11 miles southeast of the Curtis Memorial Noorvik Airport (D76) and lasted 45 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its descent 6 miles southwest of the Hog River Airport (2AK6) and descended from 11,771 feet to 3,248 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,524 feet in 9 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 13 miles west of the Hughes Airport (PAHU) and lasted 7 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The descent from 2,834 feet to 1,029 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,805 feet in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles, began 3 miles southwest of the Hughes Airport.

The final approach to runway 36 at the Hughes Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 13.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 684 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36, which had a length of 1,298 meters, was characterized by a threshold height that was significantly above the target and a threshold speed that was excessively high at 137 knots.

The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, and the touchdown speed was 112 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -260 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 91 degrees.

The total landing distance was 1,039 meters, which accounted for 80% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 209 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes. The aircraft used 470 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
