What went well

Touched down at -105 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 339 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.06 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Strobe Lights at 0 %, −1.44 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was a little below target at 74 kt at 83 %, −0.47 points
Arrival Rollout — g force 0.42 to 0.78 g at 68 %, −0.36 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.6 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.6 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Lower the nosewheel smoothly and apply braking evenly after touchdown, avoiding abrupt pitch or brake inputs that spike g force.

What happened: The rollout average g force measured 0.6 g, well outside a smooth deceleration.

Watch for: Watch the g meter through rollout, keeping it steady near one g rather than spiking to 0.6 g.

See Arrival Rollout

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 82 kt, 3 kt above the 79 kt target, and lifted off at 86 kt 1.1 s later, the nose coming up at 2.1° a second.

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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.

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.

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.

The approach to EGPE 23

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 170 ft above 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 1.1 nm, never more than 133 m 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 43 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 26 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to 0.3 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −11 kt).

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 with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 269° at 2 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 68 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 10 s, an average deceleration of 0.21 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 33 ft, 17 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 15 ft. Touched down 339 m in, close to 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 1,524 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 240 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° 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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,866 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 1.1 m of it down the rollout.

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 Pilatus PC-12 departed from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. Takeoff used 1,053 m, 56 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 82 kt. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

The initial climb to 400 ft agl lasted 50 seconds, averaging 1,222 fpm and reaching 119 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then entered a left-hand circuit for runway 23. The downwind leg was 3 nm and was flown in 94 seconds at 1,000 ft agl; the base leg was less than 1 nm and was completed in 31 seconds.

On final approach to runway 23, descent began from 561 ft agl to 40 ft agl in 51 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope and speed.

Landing was made on runway 23, whose length is 1,866 m. The threshold speed was slightly below target at 74 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 339 m down the runway at 68 kt with a smooth rate of -105 fpm and perfect alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 574 m, 31 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 16 °C with wind 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

The total flight covered 10 nm in 6 minutes and consumed 20 kg of fuel.
