See Departure Climb 2

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 56 kt with 4.3° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,367 m of runway left; then climbing at 430 fpm on average to 144 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 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 crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 26 ft, 24 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 20 ft. Touched down 439 m in, 134 m past 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 350 fpm at the flare to 60 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 8.7° 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 Cotswold Airport, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 57 kt in a distance of 224 m, which accounted for 14% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from the west.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from 572 ft above sea level to 617 ft in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. Following this brief climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 3 nm. The enroute climb and cruise phases were conducted from the same location, overhead Cotswold Airport Kemble.

Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent onto runway 08, aligning with the runway heading of 76.0°. However, a go-around was initiated at 40 ft above ground level, and the aircraft subsequently landed on the same runway, touching down at a speed of 29 kt and a distance of 263 m. The touchdown rate was a perfect -17 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was also satisfactory. The total flight distance was 5 nm, and the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, which lasted 5 minutes.
