Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 137 kt with 3.6° 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.

Rolled from 333 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 9 ft at the widest, and lifted off 9 ft left, in 13 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 26 % 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 KLSV 21L

The final from 4 nm.

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

Low from 4 nm to the threshold (up to 420 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 14× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 80 ft 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 0.7 nm (up to +69 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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

14 kt across from the left, which takes about 6° of crab to hold the centreline at 126 kt. Touched down with 5° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 079° at 22 kt · 17 kt tail · 14 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 5,010 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 25 ft, 25 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,386 ft in, 386 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 5,010 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 330 fpm at 22 ft to 140 fpm at 12 ft, then back up to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.6° 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.

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 departed from runway 33R at KXTA Homey (Area 51) Airport, taking off with a distance of 2,860 feet, which is 24% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 138 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 31 knots at 9 degrees.

As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile north of the airport and climbed from an altitude of 5,517 feet above sea level to 18,356 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,839 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise that started 13 miles northwest of BONE Dog Bone Lake and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 14 miles southeast of Indian Springs and descending from 18,138 feet above sea level to 2,841 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,298 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The descent was followed by another climb that started 1 mile northwest of Paradise and climbed from 2,824 feet above sea level to 5,708 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,884 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise that started 2 miles north of Whitney and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21L at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base was made from the northeast, heading 221.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 276 feet above ground level.

The aircraft landed on runway 21L at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, which has a length of 10,048 feet. The first landing attempt had a threshold height above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 273 knots. However, the second landing attempt had a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was good at 133 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 1,387 feet, and the touchdown speed was good at 126 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -225 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 22 knots at 79 degrees.

The total landing distance was 4,767 feet, which is 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 99 nautical miles, and the flight used -19 pounds of fuel.
