From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 79 kt with 8.5° of pitch.
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.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 993 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 3,269 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,120 fpm on average to 993 ft.
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 7,134 ft runway.
Rolled from 1,723 ft in, never more than 5 ft off the centreline. Airborne 40 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
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 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 370 ft below the slope.
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 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 2,990 ft left of the centreline, then inside the band from 3.1 nm to the threshold.
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 4 nm to 3.7 nm (up to +82 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
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.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 27 ft, 23 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,223 ft in, 223 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.
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 5,000 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 460 fpm at 25 ft to 130 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.9° 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.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,572 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 8 ft left of the centreline.
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 1,223 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Baron 58P, then departed from runway 36 at Tupelo Regional Airport (KTUP). The takeoff distance was 1,216 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 80 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of KTUP. The climb started at an altitude of 1,356 feet above sea level and reached a height of 2,597 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,241 feet, in just 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of Sherman, Mississippi. This phase of the flight lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 27 at University Oxford Airport (KUOX). The approach was made from the east, with a heading of 271.0 degrees, and the aircraft was at an altitude of 730 feet above ground level, 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 5,572 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 97 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,220 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 88 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 51 degrees Fahrenheit. The total flight distance was 43 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 49 pounds of fuel during the flight.
