From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 71 kt with 4.4° of pitch.
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, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 325 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,308 m of runway left; then climbing at 630 fpm on average to 325 ft.
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.
Plan view the roll down the 2,489 m runway.
Rolled from 694 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 3.7 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.7 m left, in 6 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 39 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
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 final from 4 nm.
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 40 ft above the slope.
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 111 m right of the centreline at 1.1 nm, then inside it from 0.6 to 0.4 nm, then 20 m left of it from 0.4 nm to the threshold.
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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to 0.7 nm (up to +34 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
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.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
6 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 71 kt. Touched down with the nose 6° into wind, wings level.
Wind 170° at 10 kt · 8 kt head · 6 kt across
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.
From 63 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 7 s, an average deceleration of 0.25 g.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 30 ft, 20 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 294 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.
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 430 fpm at 30 ft to 110 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.2° on the way down.
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.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,489 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 7.7 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 3 m left by the end of the rollout.
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.
The 294 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 13 at UGSB Batumi International Airport, where the DA-50 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 310 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
After departing the airport, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it flew overhead UGSB Batumi International Airport for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This brief cruise phase allowed the aircraft to reach a steady altitude before beginning its descent for landing.
The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from a heading of 130 degrees, approximately 1 nautical mile from the airport, and at an altitude of 168 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent until it touched down on the runway, where it landed with a touchdown speed of 71 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 292 meters, which was a good result considering the runway length of 2,489 meters.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 8.2 meters. The local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
Following the landing, the aircraft underwent a rollout phase, where it gradually slowed down and came to a stop. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 7.7 meters, the overall landing distance of 447 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway, was considered good.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the DA-50 aircraft performing well in terms of takeoff, cruise, and landing. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
