See Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

High from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to 380 ft over).

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.

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.

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 crosswind

6 kt across from the right, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 49 kt. Touched down with 7° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 340° at 7 kt · 3 kt head · 6 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 3,379 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 20 ft, 30 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 464 ft in, 536 ft short of 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 3,379 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.

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.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a PA28 Warrior II aircraft, departing from Cheboygan County Airport (KSLH) in Michigan, United States. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 379 feet, which is 20% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 56 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 339°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing the airport, reaching an altitude of 1,778 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 735 feet asl. This climb, which lasted for 2 minutes, covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase began 3 miles north of the Cheboygan County Airport. The final approach to runway 28 at Bois Blanc Airport (6Y1) was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 278.0° at an altitude of 542 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.

The landing on runway 28 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 49 knots and a distance of 457 feet. The touchdown rate was excellent at -91 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 339°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 pounds of fuel during the flight.
