What went well

Touched down at -42 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 309 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.26 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Pattern Crosswind — Heading -18.3 ° at 11 %, −1.90 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was slightly below target at 64 kt at 94 %, −0.26 points

Next time

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 71 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 64 kt against a target of 71 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 71 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 75 kt, 5 kt above the 70 kt target, and lifted off at 80 kt 2.2 s later, the nose coming up at 0.5° 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 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.

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.0 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 40 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 1.0 nm, never more than 138 m off the centreline.

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 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 1.0 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −10 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 crosswind

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

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

Crossed the threshold at 44 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 14 ft. Touched down 309 m in, close to 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.

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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Sierra C24R began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 81 kt in 1,078 meters, which accounted for 43% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated efficient maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 21 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in 19 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's responsiveness to control inputs. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading. Following the base leg turn, the pilot aligned the aircraft with the runway, completing the final approach from the north-east at a heading of 231.0 ° and an altitude of 220 ft above ground level.

The Sierra C24R touched down on runway 23 with a touchdown distance of 311 meters, slightly below the target threshold speed of 64 kt. The touchdown speed of 51 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -81 fpm was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The total flight distance of 8 nm was covered in 5 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kg. The pilot's skillful handling of the aircraft resulted in a smooth and efficient flight, taking advantage of the favorable weather conditions.
