Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 147 kt with 3.4° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 5,284 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,910 fpm on average to 1,100 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 10,998 ft runway.

Rolled from 334 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 26 ft at the widest, and lifted off 20 ft left. Airborne 43 % 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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: no landing flap all the way, low all the way, sinking too fast until 3.7 nm, slow from 1.3 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

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

Low from 4 nm to the threshold (up to 460 ft under).

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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 2.1 nm (up to +90 kt), then inside the band to 1.3 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −19 kt).

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 crosswind

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

Wind 270° at 4 kt · 2 kt head · 2 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 118 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 74 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 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 6,427 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 190 fpm at 34 ft to 70 fpm at 3 ft, then back up to 140 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.9° 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. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The B-2 Spirit aircraft took off from runway 30 at Mojave Airport (KMHV) with a departure roll distance of 4,383 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 270°, resulting in a 3-knot headwind and a 3-knot crosswind.

After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Mojave, California. The climb took 17 minutes to reach an altitude of 41,816 feet, an increase of 37,893 feet from the initial altitude of 3,923 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 54 nautical miles during this climb.

The enroute level cruise started 10 miles southeast of Searles Valley, California, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 17 miles southeast of L72 Trona, California, and descended from 41,551 feet to 40,988 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 23 miles north of 00CA Goldstone Airport, Barstow, California, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 6 miles south of L61 Shoshone Airport, Shoshone, California, and the aircraft descended from 40,715 feet to 2,719 feet in 17 minutes, covering 67 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 21L at Nellis Air Force Base (KLSV) was made from the northeast, heading 221.0° at 4 nautical miles and 863 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21L, which is 10,048 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 118 knots.

The touchdown point was 828 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 223°, resulting in a 3-knot headwind and no crosswind.

The total landing distance was 6,148 feet, which is 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 177 nautical miles, and the flight took 47 minutes. The aircraft used -15 pounds of fuel during the flight.
