Next time

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 76 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 63 kt against a target of 76 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 76 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

Steep: 35° of bank.

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

Steep: 36° of bank.

From abeam the threshold, fly roughly 30 to 45 seconds before turning base, in nil wind at 172 speeds. Treat that as a starting value and calibrate it. If your finals keep coming out at 400 ft instead of 500, add a few seconds. Then adjust for wind, roughly a second per knot of headwind on final (a headwind on final is a tailwind on downwind, carrying you further from the field per second).

The approach to EDFB 36

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 40 ft below 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, 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 297 m left of the centreline at 1.2 nm, then inside it from 0.9 to 0.2 nm, then 10 m left of it from 0.2 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 38 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 23 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to 0.7 nm (up to +24 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 flare91.46

The flare held the target profile well. The flare arrested the sink and then let it come back - 552 fpm of it - so the aircraft dropped the last few feet. Touchdown was 179 m past the threshold. Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established.

The crosswind

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

Wind 009° at 6 kt · 6 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 46 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 12 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 g.

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.

Side view — the last 1,293 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 23 ft, 94 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target; ballooned 3 ft from 6 ft. Touched down 179 m in, 126 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 1,293 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 120 fpm before coming down at 120 fpm to touch. The nose came up 3.9° 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 Extra 330 departed EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield on runway 36. The take-off roll was 209 m, 16 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 68 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 9 °C, wind 7 kt from 011°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 400 ft agl took 29 seconds, averaging 976 fpm and reaching 129 kt at the top of the climb.

A left-hand circuit was flown for runway 36. The downwind leg was 2 nm and was completed in 58 seconds at 680 ft agl; the base leg was 1 nm and was completed in 45 seconds.

Final approach descended from 432 ft agl to 42 ft agl in 51 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway showed gear down, sink rate and glideslope met, but landing flap and speed not met. The landing gear was down at 104 ft agl and the aircraft was 72 kt.

Landing was on runway 36, runway length 1 293 m, with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was a little below target at 63 kt. The flare was described as great; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 179 m from the threshold at 52 kt, with a smooth rate of -116 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 423 m, 33 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Local weather at landing was temperature 9 °C, wind 6 kt from 009°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.

The total flight covered 9 nm in 4 minutes and used 2 kg of fuel.
