See Arrival Final 1

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 99 kt with 4.1° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 4,158 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,620 fpm on average to 1,047 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.

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 KPSP 31L

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 260 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.

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.

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 from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +18 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 5° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 324° at 8 kt · 8 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 73 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 28 s, an average deceleration of 0.08 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 55 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 2,234 ft in, 1,234 ft past 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 480 fpm at 54 ft to 10 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.3° 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.

The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an M500, then departed from runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,214 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 318°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,490 feet above sea level to 5,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,636 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started 3 miles north of Palm Desert, California, and lasted for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 2 miles northwest of Bermuda Dunes, California, and involved a descent from 5,119 feet above sea level to 1,554 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,565 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 323.0°, at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,100 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with the touchdown point being 808 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 79 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 8 feet per minute.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 323°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 4,134 feet, which is 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 37 feet from the centreline.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 27 minutes. The aircraft used 129 pounds of fuel during the flight.
