See Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 73 kt with 1.3° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to 215 ft.

Reached 35 ft at the runway end; then climbing at 650 fpm on average to 215 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.

Plan view the roll down the 787 m runway.

Rolled from 218 m in, never more than 0.4 m off the centreline. Airborne 57 % 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 crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 3° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 0 kt tail · 2 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 57 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 17 s, an average deceleration of 0.08 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.

Side view — the last 787 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 105 m in, 200 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 787 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.

The sink went from 140 fpm at 8 ft to 80 fpm at 7 ft, then back up to 160 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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.

How to read this

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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34 at PASO Seldovia Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, successfully took off after covering 265 meters, which is 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots blowing from the northwest.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Seldovia, Alaska. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 258 feet above sea level to 574 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish itself in the surrounding airspace.

After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which also started overhead Seldovia. The descent was equally impressive, with the aircraft dropping from 571 feet to 39 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This controlled descent allowed the aircraft to maintain a safe and stable approach to the airport.

The final approach to runway 34 at PASO Seldovia Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 10.0 degrees and an altitude of 13 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 57 knots and a distance of 102 meters. The touchdown rate was also good, at -165 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance was 444 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots blowing from the northwest.

In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel, which is a relatively small amount considering the flight distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight time was 4 minutes, indicating that the flight was short and efficient. Overall, the flight was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent flying skills and control of the aircraft throughout the flight.
