Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 153 kt with 6.4° 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 982 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,880 m of runway left; then climbing at 3,720 fpm on average to 982 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 3,321 m runway.

Rolled from 117 m in, drifted 4.1 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 8 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 36 % 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 KIAD 12

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 10 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 31× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 12 m off the centreline.

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.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 114° at 3 kt · 3 kt head · 0 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 133 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 45 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 48 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 274 m in, close to 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 stayed between 640 fpm and 790 fpm from 47 ft to the runway. The nose came up 1.6° 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.

During the climb, the aircraft started ascending from 1,750 ft asl over Bensenville, Illinois. It climbed to a height of 35,203 ft asl, covering 72 nm in 14 minutes. The local weather during the climb was 17°C with a wind of 14 kn at 320°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 kn and a headwind of 9 kn.

After reaching cruising altitude, the enroute level cruise lasted 59 minutes, covering 420 nm over Eau Claire, Michigan.

The descent began 4 miles west of Stanardsville, Virginia, with the aircraft descending from 35,495 ft asl to 2,213 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 67 nm.

The landing occurred at Washington Dulles International Airport (KIAD) on runway 12. The runway length was 3,194 m and the aircraft touched down 276 m from the threshold. The landing speed was 134 kn, with a VSI of -701 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,254 m, which was 39% of the runway. The local weather during landing was 27°C with a wind of 4 kn at 115°, resulting in no crosswind and a headwind of 4 kn.

After landing, the taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 7 minutes, covering 1 nm.

Overall, the total flight distance was 577 nm, taking 150 minutes. The aircraft used 7,777 kg of fuel during the flight.
