See Arrival Final 3

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 93 kt with 5.6° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to 305 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 605 m of runway left; then climbing at 890 fpm on average to 305 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.

Plan view the roll down the 1,601 m runway.

Rolled from 134 m in, drifted 4.9 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 6 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 50 % 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 approach to LFBH 27

The final from 4 nm.

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

High from 4 nm to 0.9 nm (up to 1,620 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 24× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 15 m off the centreline.

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 4 nm to 0.8 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +31 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

4 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 88 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, 2° of bank.

Wind 230° at 6 kt · 4 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 83 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 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 1,469 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 55 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 466 m in, 161 m past 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 1,469 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 540 fpm at 52 ft to 150 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.7° 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.

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 flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 13 at LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport. The takeoff distance was 690 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 7 knots at 220°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 588 feet above sea level to 23,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,423 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 34 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Ranes, Normandie, France. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Nesmy, Pays de la Loire, France. The descent took 13 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 23,285 feet above sea level to 1,870 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,415 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 26 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27 at LFBH La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 272.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,770 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 1,469 meters. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 103 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 465 meters, and the touchdown speed of 88 knots was fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 230°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 788 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 195 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 73 minutes. The aircraft used 154 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
