See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 75 kt with 7.0° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to 198 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 4,793 ft of runway left; then climbing at 260 fpm on average to 198 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.

Plan view the roll down the 7,493 ft runway.

Rolled from 429 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 10 ft at the widest, and lifted off 9 ft left. Airborne 17 % 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.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.

At the 300 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to 1.0 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 1.0 nm and fast from 0.7 nm to the threshold.

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 CYBW 35

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 190 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, 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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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 1.2 nm, where the final began, to 1.0 nm, then 190 ft left of it from 1.0 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 40 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 24 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to 0.7 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +20 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 flare49.43

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The flare ballooned 10 ft agl back up from 6 ft agl above the runway, 326 ft in. Touchdown was 787 ft past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - a balloon is almost always excess speed, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

The crosswind

10 kt across from the left, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 82 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 300° at 12 kt · 6 kt head · 10 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 82 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 30 s, an average deceleration of 0.09 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 4,978 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 24 ft, 329 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 7 ft, 43 ft below the 50 ft target; ballooned 10 ft from 6 ft. Touched down 787 ft in, 213 ft short of 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 4,978 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 330 fpm before coming down at 230 fpm to touch. The nose came up 5.9° on the way down.

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

Departing from Williston Basin International Airport (KXWA) in Williston, North Dakota, the Mooney Ovation M20R aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 14. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 75 kt, achieving liftoff in a distance of 1,323 ft, which represented 18% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 74 °F and a 30 kt headwind from a direction of 139 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kt.

Following a brief enroute level cruise phase, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb, ascending from 2,707 ft to 6,509 ft over a distance of 12 nm in 5 minutes. This climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 682 minutes and covered a distance of 423 nm. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 6,094 ft to 5,491 ft over a distance of 2 nm in 2 minutes. The final approach to runway 35 at Calgary/Springbank Airport (CYBW) was initiated from a distance of 2 nm and an altitude of 531 ft above ground level, with the aircraft heading 328.0 °.

The aircraft landed on runway 35 at CYBW, with a touchdown speed of 82 kt and a touchdown distance of 795 ft, which was slightly above the target. The touchdown rate was firm at -309 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 38 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance was 3,409 ft, representing 68% of the available runway length. Following a 3-minute taxi to the parking area, the aircraft completed its flight, having covered a total distance of 465 nm and consumed 203 lbs of fuel.
