See Departure Roll

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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

Lifted off at 60 kt with 5.6° 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.

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.

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.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 30 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, 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.

The crosswind

3 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 63 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 075° at 3 kt · 1 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.

The stop

From 61 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.20 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.

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.

The sink went from 430 fpm at 21 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.6° on the way down.

How to read this

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 flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Archer II, then departed from runway 02 at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport. The takeoff distance was 915 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 60 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 74°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,279 feet above sea level to 1,278 feet above sea level, resulting in a net increase of 0 feet in altitude over a period of 1 minute and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began 1 mile northeast of Newport, South Carolina, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 02 at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 14.0° and at an altitude of 373 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, a threshold speed of 69 knots, and a touchdown distance of 738 feet, which was 24% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 63 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -84 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
