What went well

Touched down at -1.3 m/s — a soft arrival
Touchdown 346 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.84 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 198 kt against 164 kt at 79 %, −0.57 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was too high at 160 kt at 68 %, −0.56 points
Arrival Touchdown — Speed at touchdown 153 kt at 65 %, −0.49 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 164 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 34 kt fast at 198 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 164 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Bring the power back earlier on the approach so you are at 132 kt by the stabilisation gate, well before final.

What happened: This flight was already fast at the stabilisation gate, at 160 kt, and that excess speed was still showing up over the threshold and at touchdown. Carrying too much speed that early in the approach usually rides all the way down through the threshold and into the touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 132 kt at the stabilisation gate.

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

The nose started up before the rotate speed and then came up slowly, as if easing it off early. Wait for the rotate speed, then make one steady pull at the normal rate for this aircraft.

Plan view the roll down the 1,997 m runway.

Rolled from 74 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 7.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 8.2 m left. Airborne 63 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 236 m.

Reached 11 m with 374 m of runway left; gear up at 20 m, inside the 122 m that gets full marks; then climbing at 7.6 m/s on average to 236 m.

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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The rotation detail below draws the rotation against the rates for this aircraft and its tail-strike pitch, where the slope reads properly. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Rotation detail the pitch over the seconds from rotation to 11 m, where the slope reads properly.

How to read this

The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 11 m, stretched so the slope reads properly. The green dot is where the nose started up, the grey band runs to the wheels leaving, and the figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up. The two dashed green lines rising from the rotation point are 2.1 to 2.9° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320ceo pilots over the last 180 days (230 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11.7°, the pitch at which this aircraft's tail touches the runway with the wheels still on it, drawn from rotation to liftoff only: once the wheels leave, every foot climbed adds tail clearance.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 3.4 to 2.3 nm, then not again: fast from 2.3 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 3.0 m/s, 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 approach to EGNT 25

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 21 m 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 98 m for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 15 m. 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 52× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 5 m off the centreline.

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 33 kt fast at the 305 m gate, closing to 20 at 152 m and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 2.3 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +30 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 17 m, close to the 15 m target; began the flare at 6 m. Touched down 346 m in, close to 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: 24 m top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 15 m 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.

The sink went from 4.5 m/s at the flare to 1.3 m/s at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° on the way down. Into the flare at 157 kt, 25 kt over the 132 kt approach speed, and 153 kt at touchdown.

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 −3 is 3 m a second 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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,168 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 1.8 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 1.9 m of it down the rollout. Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

How to read this

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 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 150 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 28 s, an average deceleration of 0.23 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at EGGD Bristol Airport in 6 minutes, covering 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 09 with a distance of 1,261 m (63 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 129 kt. Local weather was 8 °C with wind 21 kt from 070°, giving a 6 kt cross-wind and a 20 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 304.8 m agl took 29 seconds, averaging 7.3 m/s and reaching 207 kt at the top of the climb. The subsequent climb from 444 m asl to 7,746 m asl lasted 11 minutes, covering 63 nm and beginning overhead Winford.

Cruise level was held at 7,925 m asl for 5 minutes, covering 35 nm, starting 1 mile north-east of EGHK Lane Farm Airstrip, Builth Wells.

Descent from 7,890 m asl to 788 m asl took 26 minutes, covering 130 nm, beginning 1 mile north-west of EGWY Breidden Airfield, Welshpool, with a brief level-off at 2,134 m asl.

A further level segment at 640 m asl lasted 9 minutes, covering 36 nm, starting overhead Hunwick.

Final approach to runway 25 at EGNT Newcastle Airport began with a descent from 425.3 m agl to 20.3 m agl in 90 seconds. Stabilisation checks were performed at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. The checks were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met at one gate. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 363.0 m agl with 161 kt, and final flap position 5 at 291.4 m agl with 160 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 25, whose length is 2,168 m. The threshold height at 17.0 m agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was 160 kt, noted as too high. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown distance was 346 m, touchdown speed was 153 kt (too fast), and touchdown rate was -1.3 m/s (fair). Runway touchdown alignment was very good and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,209 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 4 °C.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The total flight covered 273 nm in 61 minutes and used 2,024 kg of fuel.
