Departure

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

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.3 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 101 kt with 8.7° 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 261 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 6.4 m at the widest, and lifted off 5 m 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

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 4 nm to 1.2 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.4 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 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 210 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 3× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then 13 m left of it from 0.4 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 47 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 28 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.2 nm, then fast to 0.2 nm (up to +26 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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.

Very good landing flare

The crosswind

8 kt across from the left, which takes about 6° of crab to hold the centreline at 76 kt. Touched down with 6° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 280° at 12 kt · 8 kt head · 8 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 33 ft, 17 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 431 m in, 126 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.

From 33 ft the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 110 fpm before coming down at 140 fpm to touch. The nose came up 6.5° 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 began with the Beechcraft Duke taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KCRW Yeager Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with a takeoff distance of 797 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 102 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of -2°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 352°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Big Chimney, West Virginia, and reached an altitude of 21,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,962 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 4 miles south of Richwood, West Virginia, and lasting 18 minutes, covering 86 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Shipman, Virginia, and descending from 21,008 feet to 11,143 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,865 feet in 7 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles.

The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, starting 5 miles southwest of VA15 Stokes Airport Cartersville, Virginia, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed, starting 4 miles west of 9VA6 Old Louise Obici Memorial Hospital Heliport Suffolk, Virginia, and descending from 11,011 feet to 2,991 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,021 feet in 7 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles.

The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles northeast of VA80 Woodle Airport Midlothian, Virginia, and lasting 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed, starting 2 miles southeast of 4VA3 Flying W Airport Richmond, Virginia, and descending from 3,033 feet to 1,292 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,740 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 34 at KRIC Richmond International Airport took place from the southeast, heading 328.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,122 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a threshold speed of 97 knots and a touchdown speed of 76 knots. The touchdown distance was 430 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -118 feet per minute.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 280°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 827 meters, accounting for 36% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline.

The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 10 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 226 nautical miles, taking 75 minutes, and the aircraft used 127 kilograms of fuel.
