Next time

Departure

Rotate as soon as the speed tape reaches the rotation target, easing back pressure smoothly without delay.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off above the rotation target speed, rotating later than planned.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the rotation target speed.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 47 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 49 kt against a target of 47 kt, and touchdown followed at 671 ft, well short of the 1,500 ft aim point. Carrying extra speed over the threshold usually floats the flare and carries the touchdown point short.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, target 47 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 54 kt with 2.2° 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.

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.

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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 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.

At the 300 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed and centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: sinking too fast all the way, high all the way, right of the centreline all the way, fast all the way and no landing flap until 0.4 nm.

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 CEN4 07

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

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

High from 0.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to 430 ft over).

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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

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 flare94.88

The aircraft touched down before the threshold. Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 016° at 2 kt · 1 kt head · 2 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 3,458 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 21 ft, 866 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 62 ft, 12 ft above the 50 ft target. Touched down 671 ft before the threshold.

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 3,458 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.

Flight narrative

The Savage Cub taxied from the parking area to runway 07 at CEN4 High River Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm during the taxi-out.

During the departure roll on runway 07, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 55 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 191 ft, which represented 6 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 59 °F, wind 3 kt from 16°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.

The en-route climb commenced overhead the airport, climbing from 3 566 ft asl to 3 670 ft asl, an altitude gain of 104 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 2 nm.

For the final approach the aircraft was aligned with runway 07 from the west, maintaining a heading of 78.0° at 0 nm distance and an altitude of 213 ft agl.

Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 40 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 387 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 11 ft from the centreline. Weather at the time was temperature 59 °F, wind 2 kt from 16°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.

The rollout distance measured 70 ft, equivalent to 2 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained very good alignment throughout the rollout.

In total the flight covered 2nm, lasted 2 minutes, and consumed 1 lbs of fuel.
