Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 53 kt with 3.5° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 86 kt target, at 88 kt on average.

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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Reached 35 ft with 1,426 m of runway left; then climbing at 520 fpm on average to 579 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

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 flare90.93

The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare took the sink out 11 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 160 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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 269° at 1 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 19 ft, 186 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 11 ft, 39 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 160 m in, 145 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 1,524 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 went from 190 fpm at the flare to 90 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.1° on the way down.

How to read this

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

Departing from Cotswold Airport, located in Gloucestershire, England, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 26. The aircraft accelerated smoothly, eventually lifting off the ground at a liftoff speed of 53 kt. The takeoff distance of 185 m, which accounted for 11% of the runway length, was well within the aircraft's capabilities. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a stable and controlled takeoff.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 1,001 ft above sea level to 1,073 ft, a gain of 73 ft in less than 1 minute. This rapid climb was achieved while covering a distance of less than 1 nm, demonstrating the aircraft's excellent climb performance. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 4 nm. This phase of the flight showcased the aircraft's efficient cruise capabilities.

Upon approaching the final approach to runway 26 at Cotswold Airport, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 35 ft above ground level, heading towards the runway from the east. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 36 kt and a touchdown distance of 157 m. The touchdown rate of -48 fpm was well within the target range, and the runway touchdown alignment was excellent. The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was impressive, considering the gentle headwind of 1 kt and the calm crosswind conditions. The total flight distance of 6 nm was completed in 4 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
