What went well

Rollout controlled — 43 % of the runway used
Rollout held the centreline — 2.43 m off at taxi speed
Rotated at 57 kt — on the 60 kt rotation target

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was good at 65 kt at 0 %, Touched down 8 m short of the threshold, so it was never crossed in the air at 0 %, −5.96 points
Pattern Crosswind — Heading -13.0 ° at 47 %, −1.14 points
Firm touchdown — 239 fpm, −1.06 points across the landing and the touchdown
  • Arrival Touchdown · sink rate 239 fpm−0.77
  • Arrival Landing · flare: the descent was not taken out−0.27
  • Arrival Touchdown · 1.31 G at contact−0.02

Next time

Departure

Use rudder and aileron to hold the extended centreline, correcting drift before it reaches -0.7°.

What happened: During the initial climb the heading drifted -0.7° off the runway track.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level on the runway track

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Add power on final to keep the approach speed at 66 kt rather than letting it decay before the threshold.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 65 kt, 1 kt below the target, and touchdown followed with a firm, high sink rate arrival. Crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown as the flare runs out of energy.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 66 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Plan view the roll down the 1,224 m runway.

Rolled from 101 m in, drifted 3.6 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 40 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

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

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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare.

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Steep: 34° of bank.

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

Overshot: went 179 m through the centreline turning final.

Overshooting final. A tailwind component on base sweeps you through the extended centreline, the instinctive correction is to steepen the bank and, when that's not enough, to skid the turn with rudder. In a real aircraft this is the base-to-final stall-spin scenario that kills people. The sim under-punishes it, because a spring yoke transmits no lightening of control force, there's no buffet through your hands, and no seat-of-the-pants sensation of the skid. You get the numbers of the skidded turn without the feel of it. The correct response is the same in both worlds and needs practising until it's reflexive. Don't steepen past 30 degrees, and if you've blown through the centreline, go around and reset.

The approach to EDFB 18

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.3 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 310 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, 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.

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 179 m right of the centreline at 1.3 nm, then drifted 29 m left between 0.7 and 0.3 nm, then inside the band 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.3 nm, where the final began, to 0.8 nm (up to +26 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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.

Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.

Side view — the last 1,224 m of the approach.

Began the flare late, at 10 ft; crossed the threshold at 51 ft, close to the 50 ft target; ballooned 4 ft from 8 ft. Touched down 8 m before the threshold.

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 1,224 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.

How to read this

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 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 52 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB), the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 18, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 72 kt in a distance of 508 m, which accounted for 41% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off into a local temperature of 25 °C, with a wind of 14 kt at 192°, resulting in a 3 kt crosswind and a 13 kt headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and precise turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 10 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in 29 seconds, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's response to the wind conditions. The pattern downwind turn was completed in 1 nm, with an angle to the runway of 84.7°, while the downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nm in 48 seconds. The base leg turn, with an angle to the runway of 46.8°, was followed by a base leg of 1 nm in 37 seconds, and the final turn was completed in less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 from the north, maintaining a heading of 162.0° at 1 nm and 541 ft above ground level.

The Cessna Skyhawk touched down before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 53 kt and a rate of -169 fpm, indicating a good touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 205 m, accounting for 17% of the available runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft used a total of 2 kg of fuel for the 7 nm flight, which took approximately 5 minutes to complete.
