Next time

Departure

Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.

What happened: Bank increased to 1.6° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 40° into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

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 180 kt with 4.0° 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. 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 746 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 5,424 ft of runway left; then climbing at 2,130 fpm on average to 746 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 10,998 ft runway.

Rolled from 129 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 28 ft at the widest, and lifted off 28 ft left. Airborne 38 % 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: seven 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.

At the 500 ft gate: glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3° and speed more than 23 kt above the approach speed of 155 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: left of the centreline until 2.2 nm, sinking too fast until 2.1 nm, banked until 1.8 nm, low from 2.4 nm and fast from 1.8 nm to the threshold.

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.

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.

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

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

Wind 270° at 4 kt · 3 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 5,657 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 22 ft, 28 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,413 ft in, 413 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 5,657 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.

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

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Mojave Airport (KMHV), where the aircraft, a Mig-29 fighter, took off with a takeoff distance of 4,122 feet, which is 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 180 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot headwind and a 3-knot crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Mojave, California. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 3,606 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 17,464 feet, an increase of 13,858 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The climb was a testament to the Mig-29's impressive rate of climb.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 4 miles southeast of Psk Ranch Airport (9CA0) in Tehachapi, California. The descent took place from an altitude of 17,433 feet to 2,925 feet, a decrease of 14,508 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. This rapid descent was a demonstration of the Mig-29's exceptional rate of descent.

The final approach to runway 30 at KMHV Mojave Airport was made from the southeast, heading 314.0 degrees at an altitude of 101 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 10,998 feet, and the threshold speed was 182 knots.

The touchdown point was 465 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 158 knots and a touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute, which was considered excellent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 226 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 5,809 feet, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 45 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -8 pounds of fuel during the flight.
