Next time

Departure

Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.

What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Use small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout, keeping the wings level with gentle aileron.

What happened: The aircraft rolled out on landing with 4.8° of bank angle.

Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and hold the wings level through the rollout.

See Arrival Landing

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 63 kt with 4.7° 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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

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

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 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 55 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 8 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.

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 880 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.

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 Beechcraft Sierra C24R taxied to runway 26 at EGHP Popham Airfield and commenced its departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a takeoff distance of 484 m, representing 55 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 63 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, resulting in a headwind component of 2 kt and zero cross-wind.

During the climb phase the aircraft departed the vicinity of EGHP Popham Airfield and Basingstoke, ascending from 813 ft asl to 1,098 ft asl. The altitude gain of 285 ft was achieved in 1 minute while covering a horizontal distance of 2 nm.

Level cruise began approximately 1 mile south of Overton, Hampshire, and was maintained for 6 minutes. In that interval the aircraft progressed 9 nm at a constant altitude.

The descent for the final approach reduced the aircraft from 449 ft agl to 17 ft agl in 49 seconds, establishing the profile required for a stabilized approach.

On final approach to runway 26 at EGHP Popham Airfield the crew executed the approach under the same temperature of 15 °C and wind of 2 kt from 269°, with a headwind of 2 kt and no cross-wind. The approach was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.

Touchdown occurred on runway 26, which is 880 m long, with a threshold speed of 70 kt. The aircraft’s touchdown distance was 234 m and the touchdown speed measured 54 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was smooth at minus 101 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset by 3.1 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 367 m, equivalent to 42 % of the runway length.

Runway rollout alignment was assessed as very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 12 nm, required 8 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 4 kg of fuel.
