From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 79 kt with 9.1° of pitch.
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.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 985 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 3,574 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,700 fpm on average to 985 ft.
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.
Plan view the roll down the 5,015 ft runway.
Rolled from 309 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 6 ft at the widest, and lifted off 3 ft left. Airborne 15 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
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 final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
On the glideslope from 1.0 nm, where the final began, to 0.2 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 60 ft under).
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.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 6× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 140 ft right of the centreline at 1.0 nm, then inside the band from 0.2 nm to the threshold.
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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 1.0 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +43 kt).
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.
wheel landing
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 3° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 219° at 9 kt · 8 kt head · 1 kt across
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 12 ft, 38 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 600 ft in, 400 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.
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.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 220 fpm at 10 ft to 130 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.8° 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 5,000 ft of the 5,015 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 13 ft left at the widest.
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.
The 600 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.13 G arrival bounced 2 times.
The rest of the report
The Horten Ho229 aircraft departed from runway 24 at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport, taking off with a distance of 487 feet, which is 10% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 79 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 219°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Hyannis, Massachusetts, and ascended from an altitude of 1,344 feet above sea level to 10,974 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,630 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Osterville, Massachusetts, and descended from 10,974 feet to 3,630 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,344 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south east of Centerville, Massachusetts, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south of Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, and descended from 3,057 feet above sea level to 316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,741 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 24 at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport was made from the north east, heading 228.0° at 1 nautical mile and 260 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 599 feet, which is considered good. The touchdown speed was 77 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 219°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,375 feet, which is 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 92 pounds of fuel during the flight.
