Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections to track the centreline against a point at the far end of the runway.

What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 7.9 m off the centreline, and a heading variation of -1.4° usually follows into the initial climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings-level runway heading held through the climb

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 54 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 68 kt, well above the 54 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 54 kt on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 56 kt, 6 kt above the 50 kt target, and lifted off at 70 kt 0.6 s later, the nose coming up at 7.0° a second.

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 figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.

Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 1.4 nm out at 140 kt

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.

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

The approach to EDFB 36

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 130 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 1,029 m left of the centreline at 2.0 nm, then inside it from 1.2 to 0.7 nm, then 25 m left of it from 0.7 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.

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 flare92.00

The flare held the target profile well. Crossing the threshold 14 kt above target, the flare began at 8 ft agl above the runway, lower than this aircraft wants. Touchdown was 97 m past the threshold. Begin raising the nose earlier - a late flare leaves no time to arrest the sink.

The crosswind

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

Wind 000° at 6 kt · 6 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.

The stop

From 59 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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 1,293 m of the approach.

Began the flare late, at 8 ft; crossed the threshold at 8 ft, 42 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 97 m in, 208 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 1,293 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 20 fpm at the flare to 160 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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.

Touched down 14 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 6.7 m left by the end of the rollout.

Flight narrative

The JMB VL-3 Sprint taxied to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and departed with a take-off distance of 268 m (21 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 56 kt. Local weather was 12 °C with a wind from 360° at 4 kt (headwind 4 kt, crosswind 0 kt).

Initial climb to 400 ft agl lasted 52 seconds, averaging 723 fpm and reaching 149 kt at the top of the climb.

The aircraft entered a left-hand circuit for runway 36. The downwind leg was 4 nm and was flown in 98 seconds at 650 ft agl; the base leg was 2 nm and was completed in 64 seconds.

Final approach descended from 275 ft agl to -414 ft agl in 78 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were: gear down - met; sink rate - met; on glideslope - met; landing flap - not met; on speed - not met.

Landing was made on runway 36, whose length is 1,293 m and which had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 68 kt (too high). The flare was described as great but started late. Touchdown occurred 97 m down the runway at 62 kt (excessively fast) with a vertical rate of -158 fpm (good). The touchdown point was 13.5 m off the centreline, but there was no bounce.

Total landing distance was 331 m (26 % of the runway). Runway rollout left the aircraft slightly misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline.

The flight covered 14 nm in 7 minutes and used 1 kg of fuel.
