See Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 41 kt with 7.2° 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 288 ft in, drifted right of the centreline, 147 ft at the widest, and lifted off 147 ft right. Airborne 35 % 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 crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 239° at 6 kt · 5 kt tail · 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 1,387 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 7 ft, 43 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 84 ft in, 916 ft short of 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 1,387 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 400 fpm at 4 ft to 30 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.5° 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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at the Soldier Bar US Forest Service Airport, where the aircraft, a Kitfox, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 42 kt. The takeoff distance was 220 ft, which accounted for 16% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 59 °F and a wind speed of 7 kt from 239 °, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a tailwind of 6 kt.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Soldier Bar US Forest Service Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 4,440 ft asl to a final altitude of 5,174 ft asl, an increase of 735 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nm.

The enroute descent phase began overhead the Taylor Ranch Landing Area Airport in Moscow, Idaho, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,355 ft asl to 4,269 ft asl, a decrease of 1,087 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. The final approach to runway 03 at the I08 Cabin Creek US Forest Service Airport was made from the southwest, heading 33.0 ° at an altitude of -20 ft agl.

The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 62 ft and a touchdown speed of 48 kt. The touchdown rate was perfect at 28 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 °F and a wind speed of 6 kt from 238 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kt and a tailwind of 5 kt.

The total landing distance was 666 ft, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline. The total flight distance was 7 nm, and the flight duration was 10 minutes, during which the aircraft used 6 lbs of fuel.
