Maintain the centreline

See Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 93 kt with 4.2° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 110 kt, 20 kt under its 130 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 887 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 650 m of runway left; gear up at 13 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,400 fpm on average to 887 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 1,567 m runway.

Rolled from 93 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 3.7 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.2 m right, in 9 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 45 % 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

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: left of the centreline all the way, fast from 0.6 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 approach to KTRI 27

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 1.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 140 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.

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.

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 45 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 1.6 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +21 kt).

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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

9 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 94 kt. Touched down with the nose 6° into wind, wings level.

Wind 350° at 10 kt · 2 kt head · 9 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 96 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 20 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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 1,307 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 35 ft, 15 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 33 ft. Touched down 509 m in, 204 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 1,307 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 610 fpm at the flare to 50 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.1° on the way down.

How to read this

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 departed from Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport, KGKT, on runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 719 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 93 knots, with a local temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind of 8 knots at 340 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead Sevierville, Tennessee, and then began a level cruise 1 mile west of the city. The aircraft then climbed again, this time to 5,887 feet above sea level, and entered a level cruise 3 miles south of Dandridge, Tennessee. The cruise phase lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a series of descents, first from 5,638 feet to 3,560 feet, and then from 2,772 feet to 1,922 feet. The final approach to runway 27 at Tri-Cities Regional TN/VA Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 274.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 403 feet above ground level.

The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 1,309 meters. The touchdown point was 86 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 94 knots and a touchdown rate of -66 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned. The total landing distance was 1,176 meters, which accounted for 90% of the runway length. The flight used a total of 64 kilograms of fuel and covered a distance of 80 nautical miles, taking a total of 32 minutes.
