What went well

Touched down at -58 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 3.56 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 100 %

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 670 m at 77 %, −0.40 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was well above target at 102 kt at 94 %, −0.17 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 90 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 102 kt against a target of 90 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 90 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 92 kt, on the 90 kt target, and lifted off at 103 kt 3.5 s later, the nose coming up at 0.8° 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.

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 circuit to EHGG 23

Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 1.4 nm out at 138 kt

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

The approach to EHGG 23

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 60 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, 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 4× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 47 m right of the centreline at 1.1 nm, then inside the band from 0.7 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 45 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to 0.2 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +13 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 flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. Crossing the threshold 12 kt above target, the aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 670 m past the threshold. The flare cannot burn off excess energy - fix the approach speed and the float goes with it.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, 2° of bank.

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 77 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 26 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 42 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 27 ft. Touched down 670 m in, 365 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.

The sink went from 610 fpm at the flare to 60 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.7° on the way down.

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

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the M500 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 103 kt in 897 meters, which was 36% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry turn in less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in just 12 seconds. The pilot's proficiency in navigating the pattern was evident in the smooth execution of the downwind, base, and final turns, with distances of 2 nm and angles to the runway of 67.3° and 42.6°, respectively. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 231.0° at 1 nm and an altitude of 286 ft above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown point located 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 76 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -42 fpm was perfect. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,249 meters, which was 50% of the available runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The total flight distance of 9 nm was covered in 5 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 180 kg of fuel.
