Departure Climb 2 — bank angle up to 9.7 ° at 87 %, −0.55 points

Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 65 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 50 kt, 15 kt below the 65 kt target, and lifted off at 60 kt 2.1 s later, the nose coming up at 2.3° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 205 m of runway left; then climbing at 580 fpm on average to 232 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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA40 taxied to runway 26 at EGHP Popham Airfield and commenced the take-off roll, covering 486 m which represented 55 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 60 kt under local conditions of 15 °C temperature, a 2 kt wind from 269°, with no cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.

After departure the aircraft entered the climb phase overhead EGHP, climbing from 757 ft asl to 830 ft asl - a gain of 73 ft - in less than one minute while covering less than one nautical mile.

The level cruise segment began again over EGHP and was maintained for three minutes, during which the aircraft travelled five nautical miles.

For the approach the aircraft aligned with runway 26 at EGHP, where the runway length is 880 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 69 kt and the aircraft touched down after travelling 182 m down the runway at a speed of 60 kt. The touchdown rate was -263 fpm and runway alignment at touchdown was perfect; weather remained 15 °C with a 2 kt wind from 271°, no cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

Rollout continued along the runway with perfect alignment, and the total landing distance was measured at 308 m, equivalent to 35 % of the runway length.

In summary, the flight covered a total of 11 nm, required ten minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
