See Arrival Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 86 kt with 3.6° 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 604 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 983 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,150 fpm on average to 604 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.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted right of the centreline, 2.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.5 m left. Airborne 20 % 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 approach to KSMX 30

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3.5° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 130 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: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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 289 m left of the centreline at 1.4 nm, then inside the band from 1.2 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.

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

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 55 kt. Touched down with the nose 6° left of the track, away from the wind, wings level.

Wind 320° at 9 kt · 8 kt head · 4 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 46 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 6 s, an average deceleration of 0.16 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 35 ft, 15 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 316 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 630 fpm at 33 ft to 110 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 6.3° 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.

The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Pesim FPV Drone Racer taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the drone took off from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 401 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 87 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots blowing from 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The drone then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport and rising from 870 feet above sea level to 2,507 feet, an increase of 1,637 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

As the drone continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of the airport and descending from 2,508 feet to 1,949 feet, a decrease of 559 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The drone then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Arroyo Grande and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The drone's next climb started overhead Los Berros, where it rose from 1,984 feet to 2,485 feet, an increase of 501 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following this, the drone entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Nipomo and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

As the drone approached its destination, it began its final descent, starting 2 miles northwest of KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport and descending from 2,064 feet to 649 feet, a decrease of 1,415 feet in 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The drone then began its final approach to runway 30 at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport, heading 315 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 430 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 314 meters, which was 16% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 55 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots blowing from 320 degrees.

After landing, the drone taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 28 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 23 minutes. The drone used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
