What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then GPWS warning; bank angle up to 175.9 ° at 0 %, g force -1.26 to 5.55 g at 0 %, −6.53 points
Arrival Landing — GPWS warning; Threshold speed was excessively high at 311 kt at 0 %, Landing and flare profile at 0 %, −5.99 points
Enroute Climb — GPWS warning, then 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; bank angle up to 100.8 ° at 0 %, g force 0.49 to 3.95 g at 30 %, −5.80 points

Next time

Keep the approach speed on target

See Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 124 kt with 4.4° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 302 ft of runway left; then climbing at 700 fpm on average to 655 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 443 ft in, drifted 8 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 60 % 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 final from 4 nm.

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

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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 0.6 nm, never more than 530 ft off the centreline.

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 0.6 nm, where the final began, to 0.3 nm (up to +34 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 273° 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.

The stop

From 102 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.36 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

Crossed the threshold at 30 ft, 20 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,100 ft in, close to 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 4,291 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 530 fpm at 20 ft to 150 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.9° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 33 at the CN66 Hearst San Simeon Airstrip. The aircraft, an L-39 Albatros, accelerated down the 2,326-foot runway, covering 54% of its length, before lifting off at a speed of 124 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

Following a brief level cruise that lasted less than a minute and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, the aircraft began its enroute climb. This climb phase started 5 miles northwest of the airstrip and saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 273 feet above sea level to 6,854 feet, an increase of 6,581 feet, in just 3 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered the enroute descent phase, which began 6 miles northwest of San Simeon. The descent from 6,762 feet above sea level to 222 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,541 feet, was completed in 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 33 at the CN66 Hearst San Simeon Airstrip was made from the southeast, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 14 feet above ground level and a heading of 313.0°. The landing was executed on the 4,291-foot runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 311 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 1,122 feet, and the touchdown speed of 103 knots was also considered good. The touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 272°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

The total landing distance was 2,088 feet, which represented 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.
