Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 62 kt in a distance of 255 m, which accounted for 10% of the runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt at 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 22 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 17 seconds. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and altitude. Following the base leg turn, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 231.0° and an altitude of 156 ft above ground level.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 31 kt and a distance of 316 m, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was a perfect -28 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out to a stop, maintaining perfect alignment with the runway. The total landing distance was 386 m, and the total flight distance was 6 nm, with the aircraft consuming 0 kg of fuel during the entire flight, which lasted 4 minutes.
