Maintain a smooth pitch

See Departure Roll

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 69 kt with 4.3° 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.

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 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 approach to EGBP 08

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 80 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 259 m left of the centreline at 0.5 nm, then inside the band from 0.2 nm to the threshold.

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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +18 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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

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

Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 31 ft, 187 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 7 ft, 43 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 141 m in, 164 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 360 fpm at the flare to 60 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.1° 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

Departing from Cotswold Airport, Kemble, the DHC-2 Beaver taxied down runway 26 and began its departure roll, accelerating to liftoff speed of 69 kt in a distance of 823 m, which accounted for 51% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from 270°.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 596 ft asl, reaching a maximum altitude of 519 ft asl in a short period of 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nm. The climb rate was satisfactory, with a net increase of 77 ft in the given time frame. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 08 at Cotswold Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the west at a heading of 81.0° and an altitude of 99 ft agl.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 62 kt and a distance of 140 m, well within the acceptable parameters. The touchdown rate was also satisfactory at -135 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 2 nm, and the aircraft utilized 2 kg of fuel, completing the flight in 2 minutes. The local weather conditions remained calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt from 269°.
