Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

On a 3° glideslope your sink rate in feet per minute is roughly your groundspeed in knots times five (5.3, strictly). A Cessna 172 at 65 kt groundspeed is coming down at about 345 fpm. An A320 at 140 kt groundspeed is coming down at about 740 fpm. the entire job of the flare is to take that 350 to 750 fpm and reduce it to something in the normal band, in roughly the last five seconds of the flight.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 49 kt with 1.7° 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.

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 1,814 m runway.

Rolled from 185 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 2.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.9 m right. Airborne 16 % 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 crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 3° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 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 32 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 1 s, an average deceleration of 0.08 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 77 ft, 27 ft above the 50 ft target. Touched down 676 m in, 371 m past 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 went from 750 fpm at 105 ft to 20 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 12.3° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a small airport located in Inverness, Scotland. The aircraft, a Cockspur C162, accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 127 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 49 knots, marking the beginning of the flight.

As the aircraft lifted off, it entered a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. This brief period of steady flight took place overhead EGPE Inverness Airport, providing a moment of stability before the aircraft began its descent.

Upon reaching the end of the cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent and prepared for landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The runway, measuring 1,814 meters in length, provided ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely. The threshold height, which was 23.7 meters above ground level, was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to descend.

The touchdown speed was 62 knots, which was significantly higher than the target speed, but the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly at 33 knots, with a perfect touchdown rate of -0.1 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft had maintained its course and direction during the final stages of the flight.

The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the flight.

In the end, the flight covered a total distance of 2 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to complete, and used no fuel during the flight. The Cockspur C162 performed well, demonstrating its capabilities in a variety of flight conditions.
