Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 77 kt with 9.5° 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. 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 885 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,598 ft of runway left; then climbing at 2,010 fpm on average to 885 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 5,004 ft runway.

Rolled from 475 ft in, never more than 4 ft off the centreline. 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 approach to KPVD 23

The final from 4 nm.

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 50 ft under).

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, 1,000 ft 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 22× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 50 ft 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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 3.1 nm, then fast to 1.7 nm (up to +41 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 220° at 15 kt · 15 kt head · 2 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 49 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,262 ft in, 262 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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.

From 9 ft the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 360 fpm before coming down at 300 fpm to touch. The nose came up 2.0° 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.

How to read this

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.

Flight narrative

The Horten Ho229 aircraft departed from runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport, covering a takeoff distance of 969 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 78 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 219°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 13-knot tailwind.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport, Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,373 feet above sea level to 3,587 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, which started 1 mile northeast of Lincoln, Rhode Island.

The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles north of Seekonk, Massachusetts. The descent was from 4,002 feet above sea level to 2,272 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,731 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, lasting 4 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, which started 1 mile east of Rehoboth, Massachusetts.

The final approach to runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 212.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 23, which had a length of 7,164 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 70 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 1,256 feet, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -298 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 220°, resulting in a 2-knot headwind and a 15-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 1,743 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 101 pounds of fuel during the flight.
