Next time

Departure

Smoothly ease back pressure on the yoke during the climb, holding g force steady near 1.1 g instead of snatching the pitch.

What happened: You pulled 1.1 g of g force through Climb 2, and that kind of abrupt pitch handling usually carries into the next climb, where it spiked again to 0.9 g in Climb 3.

Watch for: G-meter: smooth, steady g force through the climb.

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Ease the pitch and add power earlier on final to arrest the descent rate before reaching the stabilisation gate.

What happened: On the approach, the aircraft's sink rate exceeded the stabilised gate limit, tripping a sink-rate fault at the gate check.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, stabilised descent rate approaching the gate

See Arrival Approach

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 94 kt with 4.7° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 147 kt, 17 kt over its 130 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 561 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,626 ft of runway left; gear up at 13 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 990 fpm on average to 561 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 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 6,981 ft runway.

Rolled from 3,132 ft in, drifted 17 ft right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 9 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 67 % of the way down the runway, before 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: seven checks where the approach path is 500 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.

On glideslope4.8°

Wings level2° bank

At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.0 nm, about 540 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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.

The approach to EIKY 26

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3.5° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 2.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 210 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: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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.

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 1,310 ft left of the centreline at 2.1 nm, then inside the band from 1.5 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 46 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 2.1 nm, where the final began, to 1.2 nm (up to +77 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 flare72.49

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 8 times on the way down. Touchdown was 2,861 ft past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.

The crosswind

4 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 74 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, wings level.

Wind 240° at 22 kt · 21 kt head · 4 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 54 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 8 s, an average deceleration of 0.18 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 56 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare high, at 49 ft; ballooned 6 ft from 6 ft. Touched down 2,861 ft in, 1,861 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 220 fpm before coming down at 220 fpm to touch. The nose came up 2.1° 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. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cork Airport, the aircraft began its journey on runway 16, accelerating down the 4,710-foot stretch to achieve liftoff at a speed of 94 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60 °F and a moderate headwind of 5 kt, with a crosswind component of 9 kt. Following a smooth takeoff, the aircraft transitioned into a climb, ascending from 1,076 ft asl to 1,086 ft asl in less than 1 minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nm.

As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it reached an altitude of 5,440 ft asl, having ascended from 1,325 ft asl in 7 minutes and covering 17 nm. The climb was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed. Notably, the second level cruise phase, which lasted 8 minutes and covered 22 nm, was the longest of the flight. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 5,489 ft asl to 960 ft asl in 3 minutes and covering 7 nm. The final approach to Kerry Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway 26 threshold at 1 nm and 734 ft agl.

The aircraft landed on runway 26, a 6,521-foot stretch, with a threshold height of 57 ft agl, slightly above the target. The touchdown speed of 74 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -207 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 ft from the centreline. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a short distance of less than 1 nm in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 54 nm, with a total flight time of 25 minutes and a fuel consumption of 111 lbs.
