Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 57 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 72 kt, 15 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 57 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 74 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

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 71 kt with 3.1° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 92 kt, 9 kt over its 83 kt target.

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 553 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 3,141 m of runway left; then climbing at 750 fpm on average to 553 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.

Plan view the roll down the 3,801 m runway.

Rolled from 75 m in, drifted 6.8 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 8 % 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline more than 1° off, wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 30 kt above the approach speed of 59 kt.

At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed more than 18 kt above the approach speed of 59 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: banked until 2.9 nm, no landing flap until 1.3 nm, slow until 0.3 nm, right of the centreline from 1.5 nm to the threshold.

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 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.

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.

Outside the 1° band 3 times; furthest 209 m right at 3.6 nm.

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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 1.5 nm (up to +49 kt), then inside the band to 1.1 nm, then slow to 0.3 nm (up to −14 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The flare was flown from 74 ft agl over the threshold, well above the target height, so the aircraft was above the profile for most of the landing. Touchdown was 374 m past the threshold. The flare cannot recover height that was never lost - fly the approach down to the aim point and the flare has somewhere to start from.

The crosswind

8 kt across from the left, which takes about 12° of crab to hold the centreline at 37 kt. Touched down with 7° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 150° at 10 kt · 5 kt tail · 8 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 51 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 36 s, an average deceleration of 0.03 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 74 ft, 24 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 31 ft. Touched down 374 m in, 70 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.

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 Cessna Skyhawk taxied from the parking area to runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport in 11 minutes, covering 2 nm.

Takeoff was performed on runway 13L with a takeoff distance of 401 m, which was 11 % of the runway. Liftoff occurred at 72 kt. The local weather at departure was temperature 9 °C, wind 9 kt from 119°, giving a crosswind component of 3 kt and a head-wind component of 9 kt.

The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 39 seconds, averaging 790 fpm and reaching 92 kt at the top.

Afterward the aircraft levelled at 1,000 ft asl for 3 minutes, covering 6 nm while remaining overhead EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport Köln.

Climb continued from 753 ft asl to 5,097 ft asl in 5 minutes, covering 8 nm, beginning 1 mile west of Roesrath.

The aircraft then cruised level at 5,000 ft asl for 11 minutes, covering 19 nm, starting 1 mile east of Bergisch Gladbach.

Descent from 4,764 ft asl to 3,945 ft asl took 4 minutes, covering 7 nm, beginning 2 miles south of Duesseldorf.

A further level segment at 3,600 ft asl lasted 10 minutes, covering 18 nm, starting overhead Kaarst.

Descent from 3,990 ft asl to 1,249 ft asl occurred in 7 minutes, covering 12 nm, beginning 2 miles north-east of Wachtendonk.

Final approach to runway 27 at EDLV Weeze Airport began with a descent from 1,084 ft agl to 154 ft agl in 162 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, glideslope and speed; they were not met for landing flap, centreline (at one gate) and wings level (at one gate). The aircraft was in final flap position 3 at 573 ft agl and was flying 70 kt.

Landing on runway 27 was performed with a threshold height of 74 ft agl, which was well above target, and a threshold speed of 57 kt, described as good. The flare was noted as perfect; the aircraft crossed the threshold high. Touchdown occurred 374 m from the threshold at 37 kt and a rate of minus 152 fpm, both described as good. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.0 m from the centreline. One bounce occurred on touchdown.

Total landing distance was 1,070 m, representing 44 % of the runway length of 2,433 m. Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 10 °C, wind 10 kt from 150°, giving a crosswind component of 8 kt and a tailwind component of 5 kt.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

The entire flight covered 77 nm, lasted 49 minutes and used 14 kg of fuel.
