From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 67 kt with 6.8° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 114 kt target, at 111 kt on average.
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, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 981 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 35 m of runway left; then climbing at 840 fpm on average to 981 ft.
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 875 m runway.
Rolled from 214 m in, drifted 9.5 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 5 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 63 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
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.
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.0 to 1.6 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 1.6 nm, fast from 0.9 nm and sinking too fast from 0.6 nm to the threshold.
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.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 3.2 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 400 ft above the slope.
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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 732 m right of the centreline at 3.2 nm, then inside it from 2.0 to 1.6 nm, then 64 m left of it from 1.6 nm to the threshold.
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 42 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 25 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 3.2 nm, where the final began, to 2.5 nm (up to +88 kt), then inside the band to 0.9 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +20 kt).
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.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The flare held the target profile well. The flare took the sink out 6 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 116 m past the threshold. Let it come lower before checking the descent - holding off high uses runway and leaves the touchdown to chance.
4 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 83 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 156° at 4 kt · 1 kt tail · 4 kt across
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.
From 90 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.29 g.
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 745 m of the approach.
Began the flare at 40 ft, 144 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 116 m in, 189 m short of the ideal 305 m.
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 745 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 590 fpm at the flare to 110 fpm at 7 ft, then back up to 380 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 2.8° 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.
Plan view — the full 745 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 6.2 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 0.7 m left by the end of the rollout.
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.
The 116 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 381 fpm arrival was firm.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSPU Münster Airfield was a swift process, taking less than a minute to cover the short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 04, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 68 knots. The takeoff distance of 564 meters accounted for 64% of the runway length, indicating a relatively efficient departure. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 13°C, with a gentle wind of 6 knots from 153°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it transitioned into the enroute phase, commencing its ascent overhead LSMC Ulrichen Ulrichen in the Canton du Valais, Switzerland. The climb from 5,326 feet above sea level to 5,968 feet above sea level, an increase of 641 feet, was achieved in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at LSMC Ulrichen, descending from 1,454 feet above ground level at a heading of 28.0°, approximately 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on the 745-meter-long runway, with a touchdown distance of 113 meters, slightly above the target. The touchdown speed of 83 knots was fast, while the touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute was fair.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 405 meters accounted for 54% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The total flight distance of 13 nautical miles was achieved in 6 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4 kilograms.
