Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 15 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.4°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

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.

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.

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 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.

Crossed the threshold at 22 ft, 28 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 665 m in, 360 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.

The sink went from 410 fpm at 22 ft to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.5° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, successfully took off after covering a distance of 408 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 83 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

Following the takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 23, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 69 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind was executed in a remarkably short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 5 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 25.0 degrees. The downwind leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 seconds.

The base leg turn was the next phase of the pattern, where the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 165.4 degrees. The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading at 77.0 degrees and at an altitude of 333 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 05 was executed with a threshold speed that was excessively high at 96 knots. The touchdown point was located 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 77 knots, which was considered fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 2 nautical miles, which was covered in 2 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 1 kilogram.
