See Departure Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 101 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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,186 ft of runway left; then climbing at 830 fpm on average to 328 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.

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

Rolled from 450 ft in, drifted 8 ft right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 11 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 63 % 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 KSGH 06

The final from 4 nm.

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 80 ft below 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 18× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 70 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.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 0.6 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +28 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 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 76 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 070° at 10 kt · 10 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 68 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 16 ft, 34 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,580 ft in, 580 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.

The sink went from 250 fpm at 16 ft to 90 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.2° 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 flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,789 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 102 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 16 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 12 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. After departing from KSFZ, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 768 feet above sea level to 20,309 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,541 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.

The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 3 miles northwest of CT36 Gager Field Bozrah in Connecticut. This cruise phase lasted for 148 minutes, covering a distance of 506 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile north of New California in Ohio. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 20,120 feet above sea level to 3,114 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,006 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Beavercreek in Ohio. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Beavercreek. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,982 feet above sea level to 2,314 feet above sea level, a decrease of 668 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 06 at KSGH Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 54.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,251 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 252 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 76 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -90 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 2,425 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 607 nautical miles, taking 178 minutes, and used 886 pounds of fuel.
