Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 87 kt with 8.3° 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 3,126 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,360 fpm on average to 344 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 approach to KSUS 08R

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.8 nm, then low to 0.5 nm (up to 120 ft under), then back on it to the threshold.

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, 1,000 ft 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.

Joined 430 ft right of the centreline, then inside it from 2.7 to 0.5 nm, then 60 ft right of it from 0.5 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.

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

5 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 67 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, 2° of bank.

Wind 040° at 8 kt · 6 kt head · 5 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 63 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 8 s, an average deceleration of 0.26 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 28 ft, 22 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 944 ft in, close to the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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 530 fpm at 26 ft to 110 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 9.8° 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.

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 Horten Ho229 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 844 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 85°F temperature and a 15-knot headwind at 208°. The aircraft climbed from 871 feet above sea level to 39,480 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,609 feet, in just 10 minutes and covering 55 nautical miles. This enroute climb started overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Blue Hills in Connecticut. This cruise lasted for 37 minutes, covering a significant distance of 729 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles west of Neoga in Illinois, and descended from 39,340 feet above sea level to 4,628 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,712 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering 91 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile northeast of 3SQ St Charles in Illinois, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent once again, this time starting 6 miles south of 98MO Woodliff Airpark in Foristell, Missouri. The descent from 5,054 feet above sea level to 2,088 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,966 feet, took just 3 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 08R at KSUS Spirit of St Louis Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 78.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,615 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 945 feet, which was good considering the runway length of 6,991 feet. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 88°F temperature and a 6-knot headwind at 39°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,392 feet, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 910 nautical miles, taking 60 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,364 pounds of fuel.
