Next time

Departure

Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 8.6°.

What happened: The wings held 8.6° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 7.1° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.

Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.

What happened: The flare ballooned, with 434 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 255 fpm.

Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

On a 3° glideslope your sink rate in feet per minute is roughly your groundspeed in knots times five (5.3, strictly). A Cessna 172 at 65 kt groundspeed is coming down at about 345 fpm. An A320 at 140 kt groundspeed is coming down at about 740 fpm. the entire job of the flare is to take that 350 to 750 fpm and reduce it to something in the normal band, in roughly the last five seconds of the flight.

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

Lifted off at 164 kt with 4.0° of pitch. From 35 ft the nose moved between 8° and 15°, and the speed went with it, 178 to 235 kt.

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 red dashed line across the pitch is 9.7°, where this aircraft's tail touches the runway on takeoff. 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 981 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,130 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,400 fpm on average to 981 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 2,495 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted right of the centreline, 3.5 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.5 m right, in 10 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 43 % 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 0.4 nm, about 160 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.

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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 8 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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 0.6 nm, then slow to 0.4 nm (up to −6 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.

Side view — the last 2,226 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 46 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,565 m in, 1,260 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 2,226 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 43 ft the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 120 fpm before coming down at 260 fpm to touch. The nose came up 4.7° on the way down. Into 43 ft at 141 kt, on the 139 kt approach speed, and 124 kt at touchdown.

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.

Plan view — the first 2,226 m of the 2,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 10 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 3.1 m right by the end of the rollout. 16 kt across from the right, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 124 kt. Touched down with 7° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 180° at 17 kt · 3 kt head · 16 kt across

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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way. 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.

From 125 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 20 s, an average deceleration of 0.26 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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport, with the Boeing 787-9 aircraft taking off after a distance of 1,117 meters, which was 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 29 knots from a direction of 228 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 26 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, rising from an altitude of 1,276 feet above sea level to 40,195 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,918 feet in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 18 miles north of Auderville in Normandie, France, lasting for 65 minutes and covering 499 nautical miles.

The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles east of Tabuenca in Aragon, Spain, descending from 41,846 feet above sea level to 4,641 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,205 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 190 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise was briefly resumed 1 mile southwest of Sax in Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, lasting for just 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.

The final descent began 2 miles northeast of La Romana in Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, with the aircraft descending from 4,643 feet above sea level to 1,439 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,204 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport from the west, heading 100 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,985 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.

However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -377 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 179 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,138 meters, which was 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 814 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 122 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,005 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
