A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 69 kt with 4.2° 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.

The approach to EGBP 08

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 80 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 245 m left of the centreline at 0.5 nm, then inside the band from 0.2 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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +18 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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 0 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 31 ft, 185 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 7 ft, 43 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 141 m in, 164 m short of 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.

The sink went from 360 fpm at the flare to 60 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.1° 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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cotswold Airport, Kemble, in Gloucestershire, England, the DHC-2 Beaver lifted off runway 26 with a takeoff distance of 823 meters, utilizing 51% of the available runway. The aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 69 knots, clearing the ground with ease. Local conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from the west.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an initial altitude of 604 feet above sea level to 518 feet, a net gain of 86 feet over a period of one minute. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude. The climb was initiated overhead the departure airport, marking the beginning of the aircraft's journey.

Upon approaching runway 08 at Cotswold Airport, the DHC-2 Beaver executed a final approach from the west, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 80.0 degrees and an altitude of 97 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 139 meters and a speed of 62 knots. The touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute was also within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft utilized 2 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a total distance of 2 nautical miles and lasted for 2 minutes.
