See Arrival Final 3

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 83 kt with 3.9° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to 394 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 237 m of runway left; then climbing at 670 fpm on average to 394 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.

Plan view the roll down the 1,011 m runway.

Rolled from 34 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 2.3 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.5 m left, in 7 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 49 % 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 SMZO 11

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

On the glideslope from 3.3 nm, where the final began, to 0.2 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 80 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.

Joined 1,247 m right of the centreline at 3.3 nm, then inside the band from 1.2 nm to the threshold.

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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −4 kt and +68 kt on the approach speed of 80 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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 100° at 8 kt · 8 kt head · 0 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 561 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 4 ft, 46 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 29 m in, 276 m short of 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 561 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 stayed between 200 fpm and 220 fpm from 2 ft to the runway. The pitch barely changed.

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.

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a P-750 XSTOL, then departed from runway 04 at Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni Airport at the standard operating time of sunrise. The takeoff distance was 472 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 83 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 109 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni Airport, rising from an altitude of 410 feet above sea level to 911 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile south of Albina, Suriname, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase 3 miles west of Albina, rising from 1,186 feet to 1,920 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by a prolonged level cruise phase that lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles, and started 6 miles west of Albina.

The final approach to runway 11 at Zorg en Hoop Airport in Paramaribo, Suriname, was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 61.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 11, which had a length of 561 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 76 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 28 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 76 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 99 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots.

The total landing distance was 426 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.8 meters. The total flight distance was 81 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used 38 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
