Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The aircraft, a Sting S4, required a takeoff distance of 105 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 66 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

Following the departure, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief period of cruising took place overhead EGPE Inverness Airport in Inverness, Scotland.

As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23, it was heading in a northeasterly direction at 230 degrees and was at an altitude of 73 feet above ground level. The aircraft was at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 340 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. The touchdown speed was 35 knots, and the touchdown rate was -49 feet per minute, indicating a perfect landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees.

The total landing distance was 404 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the entire flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a Sting S4, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 230.0° at an altitude of 73 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was likely a standard procedure, taking advantage of the prevailing wind conditions to minimize the impact of crosswinds.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude above the runway during the approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 57 knots, which may be attributed to the aircraft's performance characteristics or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe approach over a precise touchdown speed.

The touchdown distance of 340 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 35 knots was also satisfactory. The most notable aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect -49 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot maintained a smooth and controlled descent, minimizing the impact on the aircraft and the runway.

One minor issue was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. This may be attributed to the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe approach over a precise touchdown position. However, the runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the pilot and the aircraft, with a score of 95.8%.
