Monitor your taxi speed

See Departure Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 97 kt with 4.6° of pitch.

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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 635 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 5,408 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,750 fpm on average to 635 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.

Rolled from 346 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 22 ft at the widest, and lifted off 14 ft left. Airborne 29 % 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 approach to KFOE 13

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 150 ft below 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, 1,000 ft 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.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 3.3 nm, then drifted 360 ft left between 3.3 and 2.1 nm, then back inside it from 2.1 to 0.8 nm, then 90 ft left of it from 0.8 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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +2 kt and +33 kt on the approach speed of 84 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. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The crosswind

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

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 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 81 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.28 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 19 ft, 31 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 859 ft in, close to the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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 600 fpm at 18 ft to 260 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 32R at KOMA Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska. The takeoff distance was 2,199 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 97 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KOMA Eppley Airfield. The climb took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,658 feet above sea level to 7,523 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,865 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles south east of Omaha and lasted for 41 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 2 miles south east of Hoyt, Kansas, and took 4 minutes to descend from 7,511 feet above sea level to 2,658 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,853 feet. The descent covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, which started 2 miles south east of Silver Lake, Kansas, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 13 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft heading 137.0° at an altitude of 1,158 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 12,791 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 86 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 79 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 48 feet from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 1,659 feet, which accounted for 13% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 49 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 148 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
