Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 127 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 93 kt against a target of 127 kt, running 34 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 127 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Add power earlier on final to cross the threshold at 88 kt; flying it on speed removes the urge to flare early.

What happened: This flight crossed the threshold at 79 kt, slow against target, then began the flare early at 98 ft. An early flare following a slow threshold speed usually lets the sink rate build back before touchdown, producing the firm touchdown recorded here.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 88 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Lifted off at 84 kt with 0.7° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 93 kt, 34 kt under its 127 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 511 m runway.

Rolled from 410 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 2.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.3 m left. Airborne 94 % of the way down the runway, past the 75 % line.

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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: five 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.

Landing flap
Sink rate430 fpm

On speed−4.3 kt

At the 300 ft gate: glideslope more than 2° off the runway's 3°.

Still turning onto final at the lower gate, so the centreline and wings level are not asked there - the aeroplane was not lined up yet, and was banked because it was turning. The other checks are marked as usual.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: low all the way, banked until 2.3 nm, gear up until 1.8 nm, left of the centreline until 0.3 nm, slow from 0.9 nm to the threshold.

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.

Low from 2.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to 860 ft under).

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.

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 flare87.64

The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare began at 98 ft agl above the runway, higher than this type wants. Touchdown was 98 m past the threshold. Hold the aim point and let the runway come to you rather than anticipating the flare.

The crosswind

6 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 68 kt. Touched down with 4° of it still on, 2° of bank.

Wind 311° at 6 kt · 0 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.

The stop

From 74 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 10 s, an average deceleration of 0.24 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.

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 520 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.

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. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

Departure from Courchevel Altiport (LFLJ) commenced with a smooth departure roll on runway 04. The aircraft, a Pilatus PC-12, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 85 kt, achieving lift-off in 508 meters, which represented 93% of the available runway length. Under local weather conditions of 9 °C and a 5 kt headwind from 311 °, the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase.

As the aircraft climbed from 6,348 ft asl to 6,299 ft asl, it demonstrated a steady rate of ascent, increasing its altitude by 48 ft in 2 minutes while covering a distance of 6 nm. This climb profile showcased the aircraft's efficient performance in the given atmospheric conditions. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 22 at Courchevel Altiport, aligning itself with a heading of 226.0 ° from a distance of 1 nm and at an altitude of -180 ft agl. The touchdown was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down before the threshold at a speed of 68 kt. The touchdown rate of 656 fpm was well within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.4 m.

The landing distance of 195 m, representing 36% of the available runway length, was a testament to the aircraft's excellent braking performance. The runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the landing phase. The total flight distance of 7 nm was completed in 3 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 10 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
