A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Lifted off at 58 kt with 3.0° 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.

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.

Inside the glideslope band from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 40 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.

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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +0 kt and +15 kt on the approach speed of 62 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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt head · 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 47 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 14 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 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 1,390 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at EGPN Dundee Airport, where the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 121 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 59 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from the west.

Following the departure, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief enroute phase allowed the pilot to gain some altitude and stabilize the aircraft before beginning the final approach.

The final approach to runway 27 at EGPN Dundee Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a bearing of 271.0 degrees. At an altitude of 228 feet above ground level and 0 nautical miles from the runway, the pilot began the descent, aiming for a smooth touchdown.

The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 41 knots and a distance of 270 meters. The touchdown rate was an impressive -91 feet per minute, indicating a very controlled and gentle touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were identical to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from the west. The crosswind component was negligible, but the aircraft did experience a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 524 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the various phases of flight.

The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -1 kilogram of fuel during the flight, indicating a very efficient use of resources.
