Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 74 kt with 7.4° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 720 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 768 m of runway left; then climbing at 670 fpm on average to 720 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 2,337 m runway.

Rolled from 676 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 5.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 5.9 m right, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 55 % 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 LFMT 30R

The final from 4 nm.

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 50 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, 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.

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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 111 m 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.

The crosswind

16 kt across from the left, which takes about 15° of crab to hold the centreline at 61 kt. Touched down with 12° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 250° at 18 kt · 10 kt head · 16 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 53 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 28 s, an average deceleration of 0.04 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 22 ft, 28 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 312 m in, close to 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 250 fpm at 22 ft to 40 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.3° 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 flight in the Douglas DC-3 began with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFMP Perpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport. The departure roll on runway 33 covered a distance of 626 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 74 knots, with the local weather showing a temperature of 15°C and wind at 8 knots from 220°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The enroute climb commenced overhead Peyrestortes (Occitanie, France), during which the aircraft climbed from 870 feet above sea level to 5,037 feet above sea level, covering a vertical distance of 4,167 feet in 6 minutes and a horizontal distance of 15 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise that started 4 miles east of Leucate (Occitanie, France) and lasted 18 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.

Subsequently, the enroute descent began 7 miles southeast of Palavas-les-Flots (Occitanie, France), with the aircraft descending from 4,968 feet above sea level to 1,805 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,163 feet in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The flight culminated in a landing on runway 30R at LFMT Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport, with a runway length of 2,585 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 22 feet above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 69 knots. The touchdown occurred 309 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 61 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -37 feet per minute.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing indicated a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 249°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance covered was 857 meters, representing 33% of the runway length. Following the landing, a 4-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area concluded the flight, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

Overall, the flight in the Douglas DC-3 spanned a total distance of 78 nautical miles, lasting 37 minutes and consuming 212 kilograms of fuel.
