See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 113 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 965 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 569 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,110 fpm on average to 965 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 1,263 m runway.
Rolled from 88 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 2.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.4 m right. Airborne 35 % 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 final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 40 ft below 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 17× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then 21 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.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −3 kt and +23 kt on the approach speed of 98 kt.
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
Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.
Wind 090° at 4 kt · 4 kt head · 2 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 78 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 25 s, an average deceleration of 0.11 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 24 ft, 26 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 460 m in, 155 m past 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 340 fpm at 23 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.8° 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 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2.6 m right of the centreline and drifted to 5.9 m right on 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 460 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Cockspur PH100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Mengen-Hohentengen Airfield, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 388 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 113 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 2,855 feet above sea level and reached 4,877 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb continued from 1 mile south-west of Herbertingen, where it then transitioned into a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 1 mile south-east of Riedlingen, reaching an altitude of 22,125 feet in 7 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises, starting 3 miles south of Pfullingen, lasting 3 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles. It then began a descent from overhead Plochingen, decreasing its altitude from 22,096 feet to 20,127 feet in 3 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time from 2 miles north of Ruppertshofen, lasting 3 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles north-east of Weipertshofen Airfield, decreasing its altitude from 20,075 feet to 4,093 feet in 10 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time from overhead Ammerndorf, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent took place from overhead Tuchenbach, decreasing the aircraft's altitude from 3,541 feet to 2,319 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at Nuremberg Airport, flying from the west at a heading of 98.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 457 meters and a touchdown speed of 84 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,044 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 130 nautical miles, taking 46 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 274 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
