See Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 137 kt with 5.0° 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 959 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 6,082 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,260 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 12,413 ft runway.

Rolled from 1,687 ft in, never more than 4 ft off the centreline, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 15 % 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 KSZL 01

The final from 4 nm.

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

On the glideslope from 3.1 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 80 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.

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.

Fast from 3.1 nm, where the final began, to 2.2 nm (up to +54 kt), then inside the band to 0.6 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +24 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 crosswind

3 kt across from the right, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 142 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 050° at 9 kt · 7 kt head · 3 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 5,684 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 31 ft, 19 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,867 ft in, 867 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 5,684 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.

The sink went from 540 fpm at 27 ft to 130 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.2° 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.

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 B-2 Spirit aircraft departed from runway 19 at Whiteman Air Force Base, KSZL, with a takeoff distance of 357 feet, which is 3% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 9 knots at 50 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.

As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile south of Whiteman Air Force Base and climbed from an altitude of 1,906 feet above sea level to 2,584 feet, an increase of 679 feet, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a descent, which started 2 miles southeast of the base and took the aircraft from 2,570 feet to 1,906 feet, a decrease of 664 feet, in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. Another climb phase started over Whiteman Air Force Base, where the aircraft climbed from 1,587 feet to 1,585 feet, an increase of just 2 feet, in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 01 at KSZL Whiteman Air Force Base was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 3.0 degrees at an altitude of 735 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 509 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute.

The total landing distance was 5,426 feet, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used 2,499 pounds of fuel during the flight.
