Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold 4.8° of bank out of the climb.

What happened: The pilot held 4.8° of bank during the climb out, and excess bank like this usually carries a heading drift into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator and heading bug, keeping bank near wings level so heading holds steady.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.

What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 9.8 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 18 m.

Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival LandingArrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 54 kt, on the 52 kt target, and lifted off at 58 kt 0.8 s later, the nose coming up at 9.3° a second. Climb 3 averaged 71 kt, 7 kt under its 78 kt target.

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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Reached 35 ft with 1,842 m of runway left; then climbing at 900 fpm on average to 938 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.

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 flare96.00

Excellent landing flare. It lost 4.0 points, for the nose going up and down 5 times.

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, 2° of bank.

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 69 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 20 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 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.

Began the flare at 24 ft, 105 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 7 ft, 43 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 127 m in, 177 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 1,524 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 520 fpm at the flare to 240 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.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at HKRE Moi Air Base in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 24. The aircraft used 425 m of runway, which is 17 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 54 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature -30 °C, wind 1 kt from 295°, with a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind.

Initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 59 seconds, averaging 885 fpm and reaching 82 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 6 345 ft asl to 6 694 ft asl in 1 minute, covering 7 nm and passing overhead Pumwani. Level flight was maintained at 6 700 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 13 nm and passing overhead Kiambu. Descent began 2 miles south-east of Pumwani, descending from 6 586 ft asl to 5 539 ft asl in 3 minutes while covering 4 nm.

The approach and landing were on runway 24 at HKRE Moi Air Base, whose length is 2 439 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 64 kt. The flare was described as an excellent landing flare. Touchdown occurred at 62 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of -242 fpm, which was fair. Touchdown distance was good at 127 m. The aircraft touched down 9.9 m off the centreline, and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 563 m, representing 23 % of the runway. Rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.5 m from the centreline.

After landing, the Cessna taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 25 nm, lasted 11 minutes, and used 9 kg of fuel.
