Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 77 kt with 2.7° 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. 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 860 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,097 m of runway left; then climbing at 840 fpm on average to 860 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 34 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 1.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.5 m right. Airborne 23 % 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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.7 nm, about 1,050 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 1,000 ft gate and before the 500 ft gate.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

The approach to EGPE 05

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 180 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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 3.4 nm, then fast to 2.7 nm (up to +35 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt tail · 1 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 21 ft, 29 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 321 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 330 fpm at 21 ft to 60 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.5° on the way down.

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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a Cessna C182 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 415 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 77 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Croy, a small town in the Highland region of Scotland. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 901 feet above sea level to 1,036 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude of 1,036 feet as it flew 2 miles north of Balloch. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The pilot's ability to maintain a steady course and altitude was evident in this phase of the flight.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 2 miles north of North Kessock. The descent was steep, with the aircraft dropping from 1,822 feet above sea level to 1,349 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid descent was followed by a brief level cruise, during which the aircraft flew 1 mile north-east of North Kessock for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the south-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 42.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,170 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees.

The landing was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 51 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 319 meters, and the touchdown rate was excellent, at -53 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also spot on.

In conclusion, the flight was a testament to the capabilities of the Cessna C182 aircraft and the skill of the pilot. The flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 12 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, a remarkable achievement given the distance traveled. Overall, the flight was a success, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions.
