What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 ft agl at 0 %, −2.50 points
Departure Roll — Rotation speed was 41 kt at 50 %, Takeoff Bounce at 80 %, −1.17 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.

What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.

Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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

Lifted off at 43 kt with 5.7° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 86 kt target, at 81 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.

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

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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 0.8 nm, never more than 166 m off the centreline.

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 23 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 14 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +17 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 with the nose 1° right of the track, 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.

The stop

From 35 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 6 s, an average deceleration of 0.05 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.

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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Sting S4 aircraft initiated its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 43 kt within 732 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. As the aircraft lifted off, it began its climb, eventually entering a right-hand traffic pattern.

The Sting S4 aircraft executed a smooth right-hand pattern entry from runway 05, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. Subsequent turns, including the downwind turn with an angle of 97.1° to the runway, were also executed with precision. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23, descending from a height of 233 ft agl at a heading of 231.0°. The pilot maintained a steady speed, slightly above the target threshold speed of 55 kt, and touched down on the runway with a speed of 31 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 321 m. The touchdown rate was also within optimal limits at -38 fpm.

The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was commendable, with a total landing distance of 395 m, accounting for 16% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 11 nm, and the aircraft utilized 0 kg of fuel, suggesting an efficient flight profile. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
