Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.4 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.4 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.

What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 6.2° on short final.

Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Rotated on speed at a steady rate, and the climb attitude held. This is the takeoff to repeat: the same speed check, the same pull, the same attitude.

Plan view the roll down the 1,146 m runway.

Rolled from 142 m in, drifted 3.8 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 38 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 657 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 485 m of runway left; gear up at 115 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,040 fpm on average to 657 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: 3 checks where the approach path is 300 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.

3 checks, one gate300 ft 100.003 of 3
Gear down
Landing flap
On speed−3.5 kt

Sideslipping at the lower gate - wing down, opposite rudder. That is a technique for losing height without gaining speed, so the sink rate, the glideslope and wings level are not asked there: they are what the slip is for. The other checks are marked as usual.

Still turning onto final at the lower gate, so the centreline and wings level are not asked there - the aeroplane was not lined up yet, and was banked because it was turning. The other checks are marked as usual.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: left of the centreline all the way.

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 LSTS 14

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 100 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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −5 kt and +14 kt on the approach speed of 65 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 31 ft, 19 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 30 ft; ballooned 2 ft from 4 ft. Touched down 372 m in, 67 m past 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 130 fpm before coming down at 300 fpm to touch. The nose came up 5.5° on the way down. Into the flare at 67 kt, on the 65 kt approach speed, and 44 kt at touchdown.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,675 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 2.8 m left of the centreline and drifted to 7.2 m left on the rollout, back to 1.4 m right by the end. Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° right of the track, 7.1° of bank.

Wind 196° at 2 kt · 1 kt head · 1 kt across

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.

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

The Piper PA-24 Comanche departed from runway 08 at LSGK Saanen Airfield. Take-off distance was 464 m, 41 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 68 kt. Local weather was 13 °C with wind 3 kt from 181°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 34 seconds, averaging 1,104 fpm and reaching 83 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 4,198 ft asl to 5,293 ft asl in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm, starting overhead Saanen.

Cruise continued until the descent began from 5,277 ft asl to 3,814 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 4 nm and starting 2 miles south-west of Zweisimmen.

Descent for the final approach to runway 14 at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield was from 608 ft agl to 231 ft agl in 64 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were met: gear down, landing flap, on speed. Gear was down at 805 ft agl at 83 kt; final flap position 9 was selected at 283 ft agl at 78 kt.

Landing on runway 14 was on a runway 1,675 m long with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 68 kt. The flare was described as great, though the pitch was pumped up and down during the flare. Touchdown occurred at 44 kt, a good speed, with a touchdown distance of 372 m and a rate of -300 fpm, judged fair. The aircraft touched down slightly misaligned by 7.2 m from the centreline and experienced one bounce. Total landing distance was 639 m, 38 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 11 nm, lasted 8 minutes and used 4 kg of fuel.
