See Arrival Approach

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.

Lifted off at 69 kt with 6.9° 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 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.

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 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.

At the 300 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: left of the centreline all the way.

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 KBRD 23

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 70 ft below 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° 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 flare61.66

The aircraft touched down before the threshold. Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.

The crosswind

11 kt across from the right, which takes about 9° of crab to hold the centreline at 70 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, 2° of bank.

Wind 280° at 16 kt · 11 kt head · 11 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 62 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 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.

Began the flare at 42 ft, 970 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 56 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 263 ft before the threshold.

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.

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

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Williston Basin International Airport (KXWA) was a brief affair, taking less than a minute to cover the short distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Mooney Ovation M20R, then began its departure roll on runway 32, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 70 knots in 1,625 feet, which represented 22% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and a wind of 11 knots from 39 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from KXWA, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 2,353 feet above sea level to 5,502 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 120 minutes and covered a distance of 370 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 5,500 feet to 2,915 feet in 5 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting just 3 minutes, before the aircraft began its final descent, from 2,806 feet to 1,374 feet in 4 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 23 at Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport (KBRD) was made from the north-east, with the aircraft touching down before the threshold at a speed of 70 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -385 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 42 feet. The total landing distance was 877 feet, representing 13% of the runway's length. Following a brief taxiing period, the aircraft came to a stop in the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 414 nautical miles in 135 minutes, with a fuel consumption of -126 pounds.
