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 3.3° 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 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: no landing flap set, sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 2° off the runway's 3°, centreline more than 1° off, wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 17 kt above the approach speed of 70 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: sinking too fast all the way, fast all the way, no landing flap until 0.9 nm, banked until 0.7 nm, high until 0.2 nm, left of the centreline from 0.6 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.

High from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to 0.2 nm (up to 770 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. 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.

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 flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. Crossing the threshold 12 kt above target, the flare took the sink out 0 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 100 m past the threshold. Let it come lower before checking the descent - holding off high uses runway and leaves the touchdown to chance.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 353° at 7 kt · 7 kt head · 0 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.

Side view — the last 1,293 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 18 ft, 32 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 17 ft. Touched down 100 m in, 205 m short of 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 1,293 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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB), the DR400 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 36, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 69 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold in 456 m, utilizing 37% of the available runway length. The climb phase commenced overhead the airfield, with the aircraft ascending from 639 ft above sea level to 1,002 ft, a vertical gain of 363 ft in just 3 minutes. This climb phase also covered a horizontal distance of 6 nm.

As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it eventually began its final approach to runway 36 at EDFB, descending from 1,002 ft above ground level to 593 ft at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold. The aircraft was aligned with the runway heading of 355.0°. However, upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was found to be excessively high at 82 kt, while the touchdown speed of 75 kt was also above the recommended value. The touchdown distance of 97 m was satisfactory, but the touchdown rate of -348 fpm was firm. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline.

The aircraft's total landing distance of 399 m, accounting for 32% of the available runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline. The total flight distance of 8 nm was completed in 5 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kg. The local weather conditions during the flight remained relatively stable, with temperatures ranging from 14 °C to 13 °C and wind speeds varying between 7 kt and 8 kt.
