Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 43 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 58 kt with 0.2° 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.

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.

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 flare50.70

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 4 times on the way down. Touchdown was 1,873 m past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 225° at 3 kt · 2 kt head · 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 2,424 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 94 ft, 44 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft; ballooned 8 ft from 16 ft. Touched down 1,873 m in, 1,568 m past 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 2,424 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 250 fpm before coming down at 40 fpm to touch. The nose came up 3.1° 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 Taylorcraft BC-12D departed from runway 07R at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, using a takeoff distance of 606 m which represented 16 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 59 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind from 224° at 3 kt, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component.

Climb commenced overhead the departure airport, with the aircraft climbing from 173 ft asl to 125 ft asl, an increase of 48 ft, in 1 minutes while covering less than 1 nm.

A go-around was executed on runway 25L at PANC, the aircraft aborting the approach at 0 ft agl before re-establishing a climb.

Subsequent landing was performed on runway 25L, whose total length is 3,762 m. The threshold height at 95 ft agl was significantly above the target and the threshold speed was recorded as 87 kt. Touchdown occurred 1,334 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 44 kt and a descent rate of minus 14 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 12.1 m from the centreline. Local weather remained 20 °C with a wind from 227° at 3 kt, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind component.

Rollout distance measured 2,220 m, representing 59 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s path was misaligned by 21.4 m from the centreline during the rollout.

In total the flight covered 4 nm, taking 3, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
