Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 42 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 28 kt, 14 kt before the 42 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 42 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections to track a point at the far end of the runway and close the offset before touchdown.

What happened: You touched down with the centreline offset by 7.4 m.

Watch for: Watch runway centreline alignment, keeping offset inside the limit.

See Arrival Touchdown

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 28 kt, 14 kt below the 42 kt target, and lifted off at 40 kt 2.2 s later, the nose coming up at 2.1° a second.

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.

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.

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 circuit to EGHN 22

Right-hand, 1,000 ft circuit height. The plan shows your circuit over a textbook one for this runway; the profile unrolls the same path from liftoff to the threshold.

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

The approach to EGHN 22

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 0.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 90 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.

Joined 13 m left of the centreline at 0.5 nm, then inside the band from 0.2 nm to the threshold.

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 22 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 13 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −3 kt and +10 kt on the approach speed of 43 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

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 1 kt head · 1 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 37 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 4 s, an average deceleration of 0.09 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.

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 906 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 Taylorcraft BC-12D taxied from its parking position to runway 22 at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm during the movement.

During the departure roll on runway 22, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 40 kt and left the ground after a takeoff run of 186 m, which represented 20 % of the available runway. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 15 °C with wind from 273° at 4 kt, including a 3 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind component.

The right-hand pattern entry commenced from runway 22, with the aircraft flying a distance of less than 1 nm in 16 seconds.

Continuing the right-hand pattern, the crosswind leg also covered less than 1 nm in 16 seconds.

On the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 1 nm arc to a 45° entry angle of 59.9° toward the runway.

The downwind leg was flown for 1 nm and required 60 seconds to complete.

During the base turn, the aircraft again traced a 1 nm segment, establishing a 45° entry angle of 43.8° to the runway.

The base leg was a brief segment of less than 1 nm completed in 6 seconds.

The final turn to align with the runway was executed over a distance of less than 1 nm in 39 seconds.

On final approach to runway 22, the aircraft descended from 289 ft agl to 17 ft agl in 32 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.

Touchdown occurred on runway 22, whose total length is 906 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 40 kt, and the aircraft landed 162 m from the threshold at a speed of 28 kt with a touchdown rate of minus 71 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 7.4 m from the centreline. Weather remained at a temperature of 15 °C with wind 4 kt from 273°, comprising a 3 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 230 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and alignment during the rollout was reported as very good.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 5 nm, took 5 (unspecified units) to complete, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
