Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 22°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Adjust your approach path so you touch down at the 1,500 ft aim point instead of beyond it.

What happened: Touchdown point came 305 ft past the target, landing at 1,805 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point. Landings that touch down this far beyond the aim point typically leave less runway available for stopping.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 1,500 ft from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 129 kt, on the 130 kt target, and lifted off at 144 kt 3.8 s later, the nose coming up at 1.9° a second. Climb 3 averaged 203 kt, 34 kt over its 169 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 685 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 3,018 ft of runway left; gear up at 9 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,300 fpm on average to 685 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.

Plan view the roll down the 7,391 ft runway.

Rolled from 209 ft in, never more than 4 ft off the centreline. Airborne 43 % 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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: six 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 3.1 nm, about 660 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.

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 KMMT 14

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

Profile height against the 2.5° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 210 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: 2.5° here, which is about 270 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 40 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.

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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +0 kt and +26 kt on the approach speed of 121 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 flare98.62

Excellent landing flare. It lost 1.4 points, partly for taking only 249 fpm of the sink out.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 269° at 2 kt · 1 kt tail · 1 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 113 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 17 s, an average deceleration of 0.25 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 48 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 27 ft. Touched down 1,805 ft in, 805 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 430 fpm at the flare to 190 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.1° 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.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,996 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 7 ft right of the centreline, and stayed within 9 ft of it down the rollout.

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.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 750 Citation X departed KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport on runway 02. The take-off roll was 3,182 ft, 43 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 129 kt. Local weather was 64 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 29 seconds at an average rate of 1,153 fpm, reaching 211 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,394 ft asl to 26,484 ft asl in 11 minutes, covering 68 nm, beginning about 1 mile north of KCHA. Level cruise was held at 26,500 ft asl for 8 minutes, covering 70 nm, starting roughly 6 miles west of Helen.

Descent began from 26,474 ft asl to 898 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 85 nm, starting about 3 miles west of Honea Path. The final approach to runway 14 at KMMT Mc Entire Joint National Guard Base descended from 1,054 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 107 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 1,313 ft agl at 174 kt; flap position 4 was selected at 451 ft agl at 126 kt.

Landing on runway 14 was on a good threshold with a threshold speed of 121 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 407 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 111 kt, with a rate of -194 fpm and very good alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 3,650 ft, 41 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at the airport was 59 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The flight covered 230 nm in 42 minutes and used 6,402 lb of fuel.
