What went well

Touched down at -238 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 48 ft and 139 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 10.4 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 80 %, −0.21 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 1,825 ft at 89 %, −0.12 points

Next time

Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 169 kt with 4.1° 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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,382 ft of runway left; then climbing at 2,020 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 9,337 ft runway.

Rolled from 399 ft in, drifted 6 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 68 % 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.6 nm, about 510 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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 1° band in green.

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, 1,000 ft 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.

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 360° at 4 kt · 4 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 135 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 31 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.

Crossed the threshold at 48 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,830 ft in, 830 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,785 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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 620 fpm at 49 ft to 240 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 flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A300, then departed from runway 18R at Memphis International Airport (KMEM). The takeoff distance was 6,393 feet, which accounted for 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of Southaven, Mississippi, and involved a significant increase in altitude from 1,307 feet above sea level to 32,013 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 69 nautical miles and took 15 minutes.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of De Valls Bluff, Arkansas. This phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 204 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles southeast of Lone Star, Texas, and involved a decrease in altitude from 32,003 feet above sea level to 1,907 feet above sea level. This descent covered a distance of 97 nautical miles and took 22 minutes.

The final approach to runway 17L at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW) was made from the north, with a heading of 182.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,327 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17L, which had a length of 8,519 feet, was successful, with a touchdown point 467 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was within the acceptable range, while the touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 5,522 feet, which accounted for 65% of the runway length.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 381 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 15,759 pounds of fuel during the flight.
