What went well

Touched down at -90 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 29 ft and 112 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.73 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 24.68 m left at 21 %, −1.48 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 36 %, −0.67 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 768 m at 66 %, −0.21 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.4 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.

What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.

Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 3.8° with no reversals.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 121 kt with 3.7° 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.

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.

Rolled from 106 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 5.4 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.4 m right. Airborne 56 % 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.4 to 2.1 nm, then not again: fast from 2.1 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 final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 20 ft below 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 28× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 13 m off the centreline.

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 25 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 15 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 3.7 nm, then fast to 2.4 nm (up to +26 kt), then inside the band to 2.1 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +19 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.

The crosswind

4 kt across from the left, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 97 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 300° at 6 kt · 3 kt tail · 4 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 103 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 15 s, an average deceleration of 0.27 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.

Crossed the threshold at 29 ft, 21 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 768 m in, 463 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 400 fpm at 29 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.9° 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.

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.

Flight narrative

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SECU Mariscal Lamar Airport in Cuenca, Ecuador, took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft King Air 350, then began its departure roll on runway 06, utilizing 57% of the 1,078-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 122 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24°C, with a 6-knot headwind and a 2-knot crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 9,292 feet above sea level to 17,841 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 17,841 feet for 5 minutes while covering an additional 24 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 22 miles southwest of Cuenca, with the aircraft descending from 17,759 feet to 1,991 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at SERO Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport in Santa Rosa, Ecuador, was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft touching down 341 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 97 knots.

The landing distance of 1,163 meters, which accounted for 47% of the 2,472-meter runway, was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute was excellent, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 122 nautical miles was achieved in 38 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 198 kilograms of fuel.
