Maintain a smooth pitch

See Departure Roll

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

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.

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.

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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 1 kt head · 0 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 1,045 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 211 m in, 94 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 1,045 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.

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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at EGWI Kirkbride Airfield, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, successfully took off after covering a distance of 276 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 17 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated with ease, requiring a distance of 2 nautical miles to be covered in 46 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, which involved a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle of 71.0 degrees to the runway. The subsequent downwind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in just 7 seconds.

The base leg turn was another critical phase of the flight, where the pilot had to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles while maintaining an angle of 99.2 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 10 seconds. The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the final approach, was also executed smoothly, requiring a distance of less than 1 nautical mile to be covered in 14 seconds.

The final approach to runway 22 at EGWI Kirkbride Airfield was made from the north-east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 221.0 degrees and an altitude of 158 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 209 meters. The touchdown speed was 46 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -85 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.

The local weather conditions during the landing were similar to those during the takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
