Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 55 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 28 kt, 27 kt before the 55 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 55 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Trim is the hidden variable. In trim, the flare is a small refinement to an aircraft already in equilibrium, a couple of millimetres of stick. Out of trim, you're holding a constant force all the way down final, and the flare becomes a large, badly judged movement stacked on top of a load you're already carrying. A striking proportion of "I can't judge the flare" complaints are trim complaints wearing a disguise. If you're holding pressure at 500 feet, fix that before you practise anything else.

Rotated early, and quickly

The nose came up at 28 kt, 27 kt before the 55 kt rotate speed, and rose at 5.6° a second, faster than the 1.4 to 3.7 other Cessna 172 pilots fly.

Early and quick together is the classic tail-strike setup: the nose reaches its liftoff attitude before the aircraft has the speed to fly. Wait for the rotate speed, then pull smoothly at the normal rate for this aircraft and let it lift off at its own attitude.

Rolled from 56 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 13 m at the widest, and lifted off 13 m left. Airborne 107 % of the way down the runway, past 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.

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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The rotation detail below draws the rotation against the rates for this aircraft and its tail-strike pitch, where the slope reads properly.

Rotation detail the pitch over the seconds from rotation to 11 m, where the slope reads properly.

How to read this

The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 11 m, stretched so the slope reads properly. The green dot is where the nose started up, the grey band runs to the wheels leaving, and the figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up. The two dashed green lines rising from the rotation point are 1.4 to 3.7° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Cessna 172 pilots over the last 180 days (64 takeoffs). A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one.

Side view — the last 216 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 7 m, 9 m below the 15 m target; began the flare at 6 m. Touched down 110 m in, 194 m short of 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: 24 m top to bottom, against 216 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 15 m 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 stayed between 3.4 m/s and 4.2 m/s from the flare to the runway. The nose came up 1.9° on the way down. Into the flare at 59 kt, on the 57 kt approach speed, and 56 kt at touchdown.

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 −3 is 3 m a second 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.

Touched down 13 m right of the centreline, and steered back to 4.7 m left by the end of the rollout. Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 5° left of the track, 5.9° of bank.

How to read this

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. 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 departed from runway 10 at LF90 Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet. Take-off was performed over 207 m, 110 % of the runway, with rotation at 28 kt. Local weather was 15 °C, wind 6 kt from 306°, crosswind 2 kt and tailwind 5 kt.

Initial climb reached 15.2 m agl in 9 seconds, averaging 1.4 m/s and attaining 47 kt at the top of the climb.

The aircraft entered a right-hand circuit that lasted under a minute. The overall circuit time was 5 minutes; the downwind leg covered less than 1 nm in 9 seconds at 195.1 m agl and the base leg covered less than 1 nm in 22 seconds.

Level flight was held at 305 m asl for 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm while overhead Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet.

A climb from 406 m asl to 3 194 m asl was completed in 18 minutes, covering 26 nm, starting overhead Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet.

Cruise level was 3 322 m asl for 10 minutes, covering 16 nm, starting overhead Pezilla-la-Riviere.

Descent from 3 178 m asl to 717 m asl took 5 minutes, covering 11 nm, beginning 3 miles north-east of Caudies-de-Fenouilledes.

Landing was on runway 14 at LF90 Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, runway length 216 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 60 kt. The flare was very poor, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred after using more than 50 % of the runway; speed was 56 kt, a little fast, and the vertical rate was very heavy at minus 4.2 m/s. The touchdown point was significantly misaligned, 15.7 m from centreline, but there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 220 m, 102 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.0 m from centreline.

The flight covered 63 nm in 41 minutes and consumed 17 kg of fuel.
