I would definitely utilize y axis as an altitudinal derivative of time,x. I'd go with more of a dart type of graphic, so you might be able to show a peak in altitude from take off, and the rotate the graphic in relation to the deceleration .
But, you could also depict the velocity, fuel rate, etc with different colored plots, or as a side meter alongside the canvas the plot is being displayed on.
