What went well

Touched down at -33 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 315 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 32 ft and 52 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Pattern Base Leg Turn — Angle to runway (45 degrees) 63.8 ° at 85 %, −0.21 points
Departure Roll — Rotation speed was 50 kt at 91 %, −0.20 points
Pattern Downwind — Heading 6.9 ° at 87 %, −0.19 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 60 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 50 kt, 10 kt before the 60 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 60 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the downwind leg on the runway heading using small rudder and bank corrections against a point at the far end.

What happened: The downwind heading drifted 6.9° off the runway course, and the base turn was then rolled out wide at 64° to the runway. Flying downwind off heading like this usually carries the base turn angle out wide as well.

Watch for: Heading indicator: parallel to the runway heading throughout the downwind leg

See Pattern DownwindPattern Base Leg Turn

Base. Turn 90 degrees towards the runway when the threshold sits about 45 degrees behind your shoulder. Descend at around 80 kt with second-stage flap. The geometry of that 45-degree cue isn't arbitrary. It produces a base leg long enough to lose roughly 500 ft at about 500 fpm before the final turn. Once you know that's what the cue is for, you can derive your own turn point for any aircraft and any speed.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 50 kt, 10 kt below the 60 kt target, and lifted off at 62 kt 1.0 s later, the nose coming up at 1.7° a second.

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 circuit to EHGG 23

Left-hand, 1,000 ft circuit height. The plan shows your circuit over a textbook one for this runway; the profile unrolls the same path from liftoff to the threshold.

Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 0.9 nm out at 89 kt

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

Off heading: 7° from the leg's heading on average.

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Early: turned base with the threshold 64° behind, against 45°.

Base. Turn 90 degrees towards the runway when the threshold sits about 45 degrees behind your shoulder. Descend at around 80 kt with second-stage flap. The geometry of that 45-degree cue isn't arbitrary. It produces a base leg long enough to lose roughly 500 ft at about 500 fpm before the final turn. Once you know that's what the cue is for, you can derive your own turn point for any aircraft and any speed.

The approach to EHGG 23

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 40 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 0.6 nm, never more than 174 m off the centreline.

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 23 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 14 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +7 kt and +11 kt on the approach speed of 46 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 with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 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.

The stop

From 35 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 6 s, an average deceleration of 0.05 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.

Crossed the threshold at 32 ft, 18 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 17 ft. Touched down 315 m in, close to 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 360 fpm at the flare to 30 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 8.1° 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.

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.
