Next time

Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Lifted off at 55 kt with 7.2° 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.

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 circuit to KASE 33

Right-hand, 1,000 ft circuit height. The plan shows your circuit over a textbook one for this runway; the profile unrolls the same path from liftoff to the threshold.

Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 0.7 nm out at 75 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.

Around the circuit height and bank; the turns are shaded

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.

Early: turned crosswind at 276 ft. US guidance is within 300 ft of circuit height, 700 ft here, so the climb ends on downwind.

Crosswind. Turn 90 degrees when you're within about 300 ft of pattern altitude, which at a standard field means roughly 700 ft AGL, or two-thirds of the way up. That rule exists for a reason worth knowing. It means you finish the climb and level off on downwind, wings level, rather than trying to capture an altitude mid-turn. If you turn crosswind at pattern altitude instead, you arrive on downwind still cleaning up, and the abeam point catches you unconfigured.

Overshot: went 730 ft through the centreline turning final.

Overshooting final. A tailwind component on base sweeps you through the extended centreline, the instinctive correction is to steepen the bank and, when that's not enough, to skid the turn with rudder. In a real aircraft this is the base-to-final stall-spin scenario that kills people. The sim under-punishes it, because a spring yoke transmits no lightening of control force, there's no buffet through your hands, and no seat-of-the-pants sensation of the skid. You get the numbers of the skidded turn without the feel of it. The correct response is the same in both worlds and needs practising until it's reflexive. Don't steepen past 30 degrees, and if you've blown through the centreline, go around and reset.

The approach to KASE 33

The final from 4 nm.

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

High from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to 490 ft over).

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.

Joined 730 ft left of the centreline at 0.9 nm.

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 0.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm, then fast to 0.3 nm (up to +27 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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

6 kt across from the right, which takes about 6° of crab to hold the centreline at 60 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 030° at 11 kt · 7 kt head · 6 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 111 ft, 61 ft above the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,905 ft in, 905 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 1,370 fpm at 110 ft to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 10.6° 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

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Archer II, then departed from runway 33 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field), with a takeoff distance of 921 feet, which accounted for 13% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 55 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 29 °F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern from runway 33, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds.

The right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 22 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 76.9° to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long, taking 79 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 44.9° to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg was completed in 28 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn was made in 17 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 33 was made from the south, heading 345.0°, at an altitude of 628 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 33, which had a length of 7,006 feet. The threshold height at 111 feet agl was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 81 knots.

The touchdown point was 427 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 60 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -123 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 °F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 29°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,953 feet, accounting for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, taking 8 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 6 pounds of fuel during the flight.
