Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 5.9°.

What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.

What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 28 m off the centreline.

Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout

See Arrival Rollout

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 112 kt, on the 111 kt target, and lifted off at 117 kt 1.4 s later, the nose coming up at 4.2° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 139 kt target, at 140 kt on average.

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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 705 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,695 m of runway left; gear up at 126 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 670 fpm on average to 705 ft.

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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 2,538 m runway.

Rolled from 52 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 7.5 m at the widest, and lifted off 7.3 m right. Airborne 24 % 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

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

At the 500 ft gate: glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 2.7 nm, then not again: fast from 1.1 nm to the threshold.

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.

The approach to TKPK 07

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 2.7 nm, then high to 0.2 nm (up to 330 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 6× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 61 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 27 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 16 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.1 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +19 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.

The flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. Crossing the threshold 14 kt above target, the aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 680 m past the threshold. The flare cannot burn off excess energy - fix the approach speed and the float goes with it.

The crosswind

6 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 111 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, wings level.

Wind 109° at 8 kt · 5 kt head · 6 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.

The stop

From 107 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 27 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 g.

How to read this

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 52 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 19 ft. Touched down 680 m in, 375 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.

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

The sink went from 460 fpm at the flare to 190 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.2° 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.

Flight narrative

The ATR 72 taxied from the parking area to runway 07 at TAPA V C Bird International Airport. The taxi-out phase lasted 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 07, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 117 kt and left the ground after traveling 611 m, which represented 24 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 32 °C, wind 13 kt from 80 °, with a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced 2 miles north-east of TAPA, where the aircraft rose from 793 ft asl to 3,217 ft asl, gaining 2,424 ft in 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.

Level cruise began 2 miles west of Cedar Grove and continued for 19 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 62 nm at a steady altitude.

Descent was initiated 9 miles south-west of Trinity, with the aircraft descending from 4,142 ft asl to 1,715 ft asl, a loss of 2,427 ft in 3 minutes while covering 8 nm.

The final approach to runway 07 at TKPK Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 56.0 °, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,548 ft agl.

Landing on runway 07 occurred with a runway length of 2,196 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 120 kt, above the target. Touchdown took place 242 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 111 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 125 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 31 °C, wind 7 kt from 110 °, a 6 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,355 m, representing 62 % of the runway, and the rollout was offset by 28.3 m from the centreline.

In total, the flight covered 84 nm, took 30, and consumed 344 kg of fuel.
