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 52 kt with 3.0° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 97 kt, 11 kt over its 86 kt target.

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.

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.

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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: six 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

Never every check met at once: fast all the way and left of the centreline until 0.6 nm.

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.

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 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, 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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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 25 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 15 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +63 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 8° left 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 25 ft, 25 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 18 ft. Touched down 596 m in, 291 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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cotswold Airport, located in Gloucestershire, England, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 26. The aircraft accelerated down the 1,618-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 52 knots in a distance of 772 meters, which accounted for approximately 48% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an initial altitude of 1,166 feet above sea level to 953 feet, a net increase of 214 feet over a period of 1 minute. This climb phase was initiated approximately 1 mile west of Cotswold Airport, near the village of Kemble. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 953 feet as it traversed 4 nautical miles in a duration of 3 minutes, with the cruise phase commencing 1 mile northwest of Crudwell, in Wiltshire, England.

Upon approaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 164 feet above ground level, heading towards runway 26 at Cotswold Airport from the east. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 33 knots, with a touchdown rate of -11 feet per minute, which was considered perfect. However, the touchdown point was located 150 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained consistent with the departure conditions, featuring a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. The total flight distance covered was 8 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 6 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1 kilogram.
