Next time

Fixing the bounce

See Arrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 103 kt with 5.2° 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.

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 final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.7 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 200 ft above the slope.

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.

Joined 660 ft left of the centreline at 0.7 nm, then inside the band from 0.5 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.

Fast from 0.7 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +52 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 straight, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 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 2,295 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 20 ft, 30 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 314 ft in, 686 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 2,295 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 320 fpm at 7 ft to 90 fpm at 0 ft, then back up to 210 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.6° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at LFPA Persan-Beaumont Airfield, where the Spitfire Mk IX took off with a takeoff distance of 1,624 feet, which was 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 103 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 844 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,702 ft asl, an increase of 1,858 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This climb phase was followed by a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with the aircraft descending from 2,700 ft asl to 1,672 ft asl, a decrease of 1,028 feet in 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at various altitudes, including 1,218 ft asl and 297 ft asl, before beginning another climb phase from 297 ft asl to 2,050 ft asl, an increase of 1,753 feet in 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.

The final climb phase began overhead Marolles-en-Hurepoix, where the aircraft climbed from 1,889 ft asl to 3,402 ft asl, an increase of 1,513 feet in 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 3,373 ft asl to 596 ft asl, a decrease of 2,777 feet in 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24L at LFOX Aérodrome d'Étampes-Mondésir was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 237.0° at 1 nautical mile and 96 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing on runway 24L was characterized by a threshold speed that was excessively high at 221 knots, and a touchdown point that was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 92 knots was also too fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.

The total landing distance was 2,222 feet, which was 97% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 58 nautical miles, taking 29 minutes, and the aircraft used 248 pounds of fuel.
