See Departure Roll

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 92 kt with 6.8° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 160 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,770 fpm on average to 305 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.

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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

Wings level2° bank

At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: gear up until 2.4 nm, no landing flap until 1.9 nm, sinking too fast until 1.2 nm, banked until 0.9 nm, low until 0.7 nm, slow from 0.4 nm and left of the centreline from 0.3 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

The approach to CYSW 17

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 1.3 nm, then low to 0.7 nm (up to 220 ft under), then back on it to the threshold.

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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

Joined 352 m left of the centreline, then drifted 75 m right between 1.2 and 0.7 nm, then back inside it from 0.7 to 0.3 nm, then 21 m left of it from 0.3 nm to the threshold.

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.

Fast from 4 nm to 0.4 nm (up to +97 kt), then slow to the threshold (up to −18 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 flare80.29

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare took the sink out 1 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 91 m past the threshold. Let it come lower before checking the descent - holding off high uses runway and leaves the touchdown to chance.

The crosswind

5 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 73 kt. Touched down with 4° of it still on, 3° of bank.

Wind 270° at 6 kt · 1 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.

The stop

From 77 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 17 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 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 1,209 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 32 ft, 20 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 26 ft, 24 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 91 m in, 214 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 1,209 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 grew from 450 fpm at the flare to 590 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.5° 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.

Flight narrative

The OV-10 Bronco departed from Calgary/Springbank Airport (CYBW), taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 692 meters, accounting for 68% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 93 knots, with a local temperature of 16°C and a wind of 6 knots from 270°.

As the aircraft climbed to 4,946 feet above sea level, it began its enroute climb, increasing its altitude by 674 feet in less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 4,946 feet for 5 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. The climb and cruise phases were repeated several times, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 8,025 feet above sea level. The descent phase began 22 miles north of Elkford, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 1,233 feet in 3 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 17 at Sparwood/Elk Valley Airport (CYSW) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 191.0° at 4 nautical miles and 987 feet above ground level. The landing was completed with a touchdown distance of 86 meters, a touchdown speed of 72 knots, and a touchdown rate of -704 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.6 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 503 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 85 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 24 minutes and a fuel consumption of 139 kilograms.
