Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 71 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 56 kt against a target of 71 kt, running 15 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 71 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

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.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 45 kt with 4.7° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 56 kt, 15 kt under its 71 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 1,207 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 308 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,160 fpm on average to 1,207 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

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 flare97.44

Excellent landing flare. It lost 2.6 points, for starting the flare at 11 ft agl, below the usual 11 ft agl–45 ft agl.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, 2° of bank.

Wind 181° at 2 kt · 1 kt head · 1 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 39 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 7 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 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.

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 940 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 280 fpm at the flare to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.2° 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.

How to read this

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

The Savage Cub taxied to runway 33 at CA11 Mc Cloud Airstrip and positioned for departure.

Takeoff was achieved after a ground roll of 70 m, representing 21 % of the available runway, with liftoff occurring at 46 kt. Ambient conditions were 5 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 176°, a crosswind component of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 2 kt.

Climb commenced overhead the departure field, rising from 7,110 ft asl to 7,278 ft asl - a gain of 169 ft - in less than one minute while covering less than one nautical mile.

Cruise began approximately one mile north-west of the airstrip and continued for 18 minutes, during which 28 nm were flown.

Descent started over O79 Sierraville Dearwater, descending from 6,346 ft asl to 5,095 ft asl, a loss of 1,251 ft in three minutes while traversing four nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 21 at O79 Sierraville Dearwater was executed from the north-east on a heading of 229.0°, beginning at zero nautical miles and 109 ft agl.

Landing on runway 21, whose length is 940 m, was completed with a threshold speed of 41 kt, slightly below the target. Touchdown occurred 148 m down the runway at 37 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 66 fpm; alignment at touchdown was very good. Local weather remained 5 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 176°, a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt. The total landing roll measured 262 m, equivalent to 28 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was also very good.

Overall, the flight covered 34 nm, required 24 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
