What went well

Touched down at -160 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 360 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 4.04 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 ft agl at 0 %, −2.50 points
Arrival Approach — 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.95 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 7.53 m left at 91 %, −0.28 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.

What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.

Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 59 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

The pull started after the rotate speed had gone by. Bring the airspeed into the scan as it approaches the rotate speed, so the pull starts on the number rather than when you notice it has passed.

Plan view the roll down the 1,502 m runway.

Rolled from 132 m in, never more than 1.1 m off the centreline. Airborne 46 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 959 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 316 m of runway left; then climbing at 990 fpm on average to 959 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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.3 nm, about 650 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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 EGMD 21

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

Profile height against the 3.5° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Low from 4 nm to 2.8 nm (up to 1,120 ft under), 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: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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.

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.

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.

Crossed the threshold at 59 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 37 ft. Touched down 360 m in, 55 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 1,459 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. 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. 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

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.

Flight narrative

The TBM 850 departed London City Airport (EGLC) from runway 27, using a take-off roll of 705 m which represented 47 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 93 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a headwind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.

Climb began overhead Canary Wharf, rising from 991 ft asl to 2,544 ft asl - an increase of 1,552 ft - over a period of 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise segment that started 1 mile southeast of Canary Wharf and continued for 15 minutes, during which 53 nm were flown.

Descent commenced 1 mile west of Clipgate Farm Airstrip (EGFB), descending from 2,311 ft asl to 834 ft asl - a loss of 1,477 ft - in 3 minutes and spanning 6 nm.

A brief cruise followed overhead Sellindge, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nm.

A second descent started 1 mile south of Lympne, dropping from 945 ft asl to 691 ft asl - a decrease of 254 ft - in 2 minutes while traveling 5 nm.

Final approach to runway 21 at Lydd Airport (EGMD) reduced altitude from 432 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 130 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.

Touchdown on runway 21 occurred with a threshold height of 59 ft agl and a threshold speed of 94 kt, both slightly above target. The aircraft landed 359 m down the runway at 81 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 155 fpm. The touchdown point was 4.0 m off centreline. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 2 kt and a head-wind of 1 kt. Total landing distance was 799 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

Runway rollout remained well aligned throughout the deceleration phase, confirming the good touchdown position.

After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to parking in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 82 nm, took 29, and used 385 kg of fuel.
