Arrival

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.

What happened: On the landing you drifted 11 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 11 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival LandingArrival TouchdownArrival Rollout

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 86 kt, 4 kt below the 90 kt target, and lifted off at 94 kt 2.8 s later, the nose coming up at 1.4° a second. Climb 3 averaged 142 kt, 12 kt over its 130 kt target.

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 885 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 497 m of runway left; gear up at 14 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,100 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 147 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 3.5 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.8 m right. Airborne 53 % 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 0.8 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.8 nm and fast from 0.4 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 KTYS 23L

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

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 320 ft above the slope.

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 4× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.8 nm, then 34 m left of it from 0.8 nm to the threshold.

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 45 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +16 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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 90 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, wings level.

Wind 260° at 8 kt · 7 kt head · 4 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 88 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 27 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 37 ft, 13 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft. Touched down 522 m in, 217 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 290 fpm at the flare to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.0° 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.

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

KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport was the departure point for this flight, with the aircraft rolling onto runway 28 for departure. The takeoff distance covered 54% of the 1,584-meter runway, and liftoff occurred at a speed of 95 kt. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30 °C.

As the aircraft climbed out of KGKT, it began its enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 4,851 ft asl after a 2-minute climb from 1,944 ft asl. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 4,851 ft asl for 2 minutes while covering 5 nm. The aircraft then initiated another climb phase, reaching an altitude of 8,494 ft asl after a 3-minute climb from 5,007 ft asl. The descent phase began overhead Dandridge, with the aircraft descending from 8,519 ft asl to 2,909 ft asl in 7 minutes while covering 21 nm. The final approach phase was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft aligning with runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport.

The aircraft touched down on runway 23L at a speed of 90 kt, with a touchdown point located 97 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was smooth at -146 fpm, but the touchdown speed was slightly above target. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.4 m from the centreline. The total landing distance covered 46% of the 2,627-meter runway. Following a short taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 55 nm and consuming 55 kg of fuel in the process.
