See Arrival Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 129 kt with 1.7° 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. 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 926 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,924 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,180 fpm on average to 926 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.

Plan view the roll down the 3,500 m runway.

Rolled from 438 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 4.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.7 m right, in 8 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 33 % 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

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 0.8 nm, then not again: fast from 0.8 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.

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

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 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 +16 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.

Fair landing flare

The crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 99 kt. Touched down with the nose 3° into wind, wings level.

Wind 030° at 28 kt · 28 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 73 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 31 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 44 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 724 m in, 419 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 1,524 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 340 fpm at 41 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.0° 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 flight began with the Beechcraft King Air 350 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at GMME Rabat-Salé Airport in Morocco. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 03, with a takeoff distance of 796 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 129 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Rabat-Salé Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and ascending from 1,246 feet above sea level to 31,040 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 96 nautical miles and took 30 minutes, with an increase of 29,795 feet in altitude.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 20 miles southwest of Settat, Morocco. This phase lasted for 77 minutes and covered a distance of 382 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Playa Blanca in the Canary Islands, Spain. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, with a decrease of 28,638 feet in altitude from 30,780 feet above sea level to 2,142 feet above sea level.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 22 miles east of GCLP Gran Canaria Airport in the Canary Islands, Spain. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles east of GCLB El Berriel Aeroc Airport in Gran Canaria Island. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, with a decrease of 812 feet in altitude from 2,152 feet above sea level to 1,340 feet above sea level.

The final approach to runway 03R at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 21.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,095 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 112 knots. The touchdown point was 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 99 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -84 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 28 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 28 knots. The total landing distance was 1,226 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 600 nautical miles, taking 151 minutes, and the aircraft used 776 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
