Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.6°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Add power on final to cross the threshold at 63 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 9 kt below the 63 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 6° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 63 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Lifted off at 64 kt with 3.8° 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.

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 approach to EGBP 26

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 50 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.

Joined 275 m left of the centreline at 0.9 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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −9 kt and +1 kt on the approach speed of 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 straight, wings level.

Wind 270° 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.

Began the flare at 26 ft, 140 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 7 ft, 43 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 54 m in, 251 m short of 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.

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 Cotswold Airport, the DHC-2 Beaver began its takeoff roll on runway 08, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 65 kt in 1,030 meters, which represented 64% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt from 270 °. As the aircraft lifted off, it transitioned into a steady climb, eventually entering a right-hand traffic pattern.

The pilot navigated the right-hand pattern with precision, completing the entry turn in 41 seconds and covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The crosswind leg was executed smoothly, taking 49 seconds to cover 1 nm. The downwind turn was initiated at an angle of 29.9 ° to the runway, with the aircraft covering a distance of 3 nm before beginning the downwind leg. This phase of the flight was completed in 13 seconds, with the aircraft aligning itself for the final approach to runway 26. The pilot maintained a heading of 261.0 ° and descended to an altitude of 206 ft above ground level (agl) before initiating the final approach.

The DHC-2 Beaver touched down on runway 26 with a touchdown distance of 53 meters, a speed of 52 kt, and a rate of descent of -151 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed to avoid stalling. The total flight distance was 8 nm, covering a distance of 6 nm in 6 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 6 kg of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions remained favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from 269 °.
