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 51 kt with 4.4° 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.

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.

The approach to EGPN 09

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 100 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.

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

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 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 1,390 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 24 ft, 26 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 508 m in, 203 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 1,390 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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at EGPN Dundee Airport, where the aircraft, a PA38 Tomahawk, successfully took off after covering a distance of 51 meters, which accounted for just 4% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 51 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Invergowrie in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 620 feet above sea level to 384 feet, a vertical gain of 236 feet, in less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. This impressive climb rate demonstrated the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill.

After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 09 at EGPN Dundee Airport, which it approached from the southwest at a heading of 71.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 361 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions remained unchanged, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 41 knots, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -38 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The use of 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight suggests that the aircraft was operated efficiently, and the total flight distance of 2 nautical miles was covered in just 2 minutes.
