Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.5 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.5 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on final to cross the threshold at 84 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 17 kt below the 84 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 1.9° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 84 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 73 kt, 4 kt below the 77 kt target, and lifted off at 78 kt 0.7 s later, the nose coming up at 2.6° a second. Climb 3 averaged 133 kt, 6 kt over its 127 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 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 figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. 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 905 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,115 m of runway left; gear up at 5 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,320 fpm on average to 905 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.

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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 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

Every check met from 2.1 to 1.8 nm, then not again: slow from 1.8 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 EGGP 09

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

High from 3.9 nm, where the final began, to 2.9 nm (up to 980 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

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

Inside the speed band from 3.9 nm, where the final began, to 1.8 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −18 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 flare58.02

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.9° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 297 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 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.

The stop

From 61 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.19 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 37 ft, 13 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 16 ft. Touched down 297 m in, close to 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 260 fpm at the flare to 150 fpm at 7 ft, then back up to 320 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.

Flight narrative

The Pilatus PC-12 departed from runway 27 at EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Take-off was performed on a 969 m roll, using 42 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 73 kt. Local weather at departure was 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a head-wind component of 1 kt and no cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 37 seconds, averaging 1,368 fpm and reaching 140 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,053 ft asl to 4,189 ft asl in 4 minutes while covering 13 nm, beginning about 1 mile west of the airport. Cruise level was 4,400 ft asl for 2 minutes over 6 nm, starting roughly 3 miles west of Crosby. Descent from 4,265 ft asl to 1,788 ft asl lasted 2 minutes and covered 6 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-west of Prenton.

On final approach to runway 09 at EGGP, descent from 2,073 ft agl to 66 ft agl was completed in 156 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met. Configuration changes were: landing gear down at 2,463 ft agl with a speed of 145 kt, and final flap position 3 at 2,015 ft agl with a speed of 115 kt.

Landing was made on runway 09, whose length is 2,225 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 67 kt, well below target. The flare was poor, with little round-out before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 297 m from the threshold at 61 kt, with a firm rate of minus 321 fpm and perfect alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 513 m, representing 23 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

Local weather at landing was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, giving a tail-wind component of 1 kt and no cross-wind. The entire flight covered 30 nm in 12 minutes and consumed 43 kg of fuel.
