Next time

Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The flare39.77

The flare strayed well off the target profile. Crossing the threshold 21 kt above target, the flare ballooned 30 ft agl back up from 0 ft agl above the runway, 1,523 ft in. Touchdown was 3,554 ft past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - a balloon is almost always excess speed, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 1 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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 25 ft, 1,447 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 29 ft, 21 ft below the 50 ft target; ballooned 30 ft from 0 ft. Touched down 3,554 ft in, 2,554 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Kenmore Air Harbor LLC Seaplane Base, the DHC-2 Beaver began its takeoff roll on runway 21, utilizing 1,605 feet of the available 2,470 feet. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 75 knots, clearing the ground with a minimal margin. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 60°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 615 feet above sea level to 978 feet, a gain of 362 feet in just one minute. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes as it traversed 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18W at Seattle Seaplanes Seaplane Base was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 68 feet above ground level.

The approach was interrupted by a go-around, with the aircraft lifting off from 19 feet above ground level. Upon re-initiating the approach, the DHC-2 Beaver landed on runway 18W, which measured 5,040 feet in length. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute was satisfactory. However, the touchdown point was 478 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 84 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance of 2,568 feet, accounting for 51% of the available runway, was notable, as was the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 95 feet from the centerline. The total flight distance of 10 nautical miles was achieved in 9 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 21 pounds of fuel.
