Lifted off at 81 kt with 4.3° 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

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

Profile height against the 2.5° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 210 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, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 2.5° here, which is about 270 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 40 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.

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 crosswind

Wind 156° at 11 kt · 6 kt head · 5 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 29 ft, 21 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,429 ft in, 429 ft past 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 5,000 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.

Flight narrative

The Velocity XL aircraft departed from runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport, taking off with a distance of 969 feet, which is 19% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 82 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 157 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 1,298 feet above sea level (asl) after ascending 56 feet in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was initiated overhead the airport in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south east of Smithfield, Rhode Island. During this phase, it descended from 1,313 feet asl to 754 feet asl, a decrease of 559 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

Following the descent, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile, starting 1 mile south of Smithfield.

The aircraft then initiated another enroute climb, starting 1 mile south west of KSFZ North Central State Airport in Pawtucket. During this climb, it ascended from 1,018 feet asl to 630 feet asl, an increase of 388 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport was initiated from the north east, heading 216.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 201 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft landed safely on runway 23, which has a length of 5,004 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 80 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,423 feet, and the touchdown speed was 66 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -111 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 156 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.

In conclusion, the Velocity XL aircraft completed a successful flight, covering a total distance of 8 nautical miles in 9 minutes and consuming 11 pounds of fuel.
