What held you back

Arrival Approach — 500 ft gate 60 %, −4.44 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Strobe Lights at 0 %, −1.21 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was a little below target at 62 kt at 88 %, −0.34 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 60 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 47 kt, 13 kt before the 60 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 60 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 70 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 62 kt against a target of 70 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 70 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

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.

The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 47 kt, 13 kt below the 60 kt target, and lifted off at 65 kt 1.6 s later, the nose coming up at 1.0° a second.

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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

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.

Rolled from 31 m in, drifted 2.5 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 11 % 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

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 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.

Landing flap

At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed more than 21 kt above the approach speed of 70 kt.

Still turning onto final at the lower gate, so the centreline and wings level are not asked there - the aeroplane was not lined up yet, and was banked because it was turning. The other checks are marked as usual.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.0 nm, about 370 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate.

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.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 210 ft above 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, 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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.8 nm, where the final began, to 1.3 nm (up to +37 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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

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

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt tail · 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.

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

Began the flare at 23 ft, 52 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 10 ft, 40 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 159 m in, 146 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 1,524 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.

Flight narrative

The Scottish Aviation Bulldog T1 taxied to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft achieved a take-off distance of 316 m, representing 17 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 65 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, providing a 2 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind component.

After liftoff the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern for runway 23, covering a distance of 2 nm in 12 seconds.

The subsequent right-hand crosswind leg of the pattern was flown from runway 23, extending less than 1 nm and completed in 8 seconds.

During the downwind turn the aircraft travelled 2 nm while turning to a 45-degree angle to the runway, the turn angle measured at 14.1°.

The downwind leg that followed was less than 1 nm in length and was flown for 12 seconds.

The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport involved a descent from 813 ft AGL to 26 ft AGL over a period of 78 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gates criteria.

Landing was executed on runway 05, whose length is 1,817 m. The threshold height was satisfactory and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 62 kt. Touchdown occurred 157 m down the runway at a speed of 50 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 89 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 3.4 m from the centreline. Weather at the time remained 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind component.

In total the flight covered 7 nm, required 4 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
