A clean takeoff

Rotated at 153 kt against the 150 kt rotate speed, the nose rising at 2.3° a second, then held 13.4° from 35 ft, within 4.1° top to bottom.

Rotated on speed at a steady rate, and the climb attitude held. This is the takeoff to repeat: the same speed check, the same pull, the same attitude.

Plan view the roll down the 7,178 ft runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted right of the centreline, 6 ft at the widest, and lifted off 6 ft right. Airborne 56 % 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 898 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,023 ft of runway left; gear up at 81 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,560 fpm on average to 898 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 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 35 ft, where the slope reads properly.

How to read this

The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 35 ft, 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 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at: a trace steeper than both is a faster rotation, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 9.5°, 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 1,000 ft and 500 ft 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 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then not again: low from 0.3 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 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 approach to KMEM 18L

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

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 60 ft under).

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 18× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 70 ft 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 37 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +3 kt and +6 kt on the approach speed of 146 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 18 ft, 199 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 10 ft, 40 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 742 ft in, 258 ft short of 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 5,000 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.

The sink went from 520 fpm at the flare to 170 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.5° on the way down. Into the flare at 150 kt, 4 kt over the 146 kt approach speed, and 145 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 −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 5,000 ft of the 9,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 9 ft of it down the rollout. Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, 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 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.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 146 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 66 s, an average deceleration of 0.09 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 MD-11 departed Logan International Airport (KBOS) on runway 22R. The take-off roll used 4,036 ft, which was 56 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 153 kt. Local weather was 61 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 299°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 19 seconds, averaging 2,530 fpm and reaching 186 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 992 ft asl to 33,999 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 126 nm and passing overhead MA17 Avco/Lowell Heliport (Lowell). Level flight continued between 34,000 ft asl and 36,000 ft asl for 118 minutes, covering 837 nm, beginning 4 miles north-east of Winsted.

Descent began from 35,998 ft asl to 1,473 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 74 nm, starting 1 mile north of M53 Humboldt Mun (Humboldt). The final approach to runway 18L at Memphis International Airport (KMEM) started from 1,233 ft agl and descended to 88 ft agl in 94 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 1,996 ft agl at 178 kt, and final flap position 6 at 1,742 ft agl at 170 kt.

The aircraft landed on runway 18L, which is 9,000 ft long. Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 149 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 742 ft down the runway at 145 kt, a little fast, with a touchdown rate of -170 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 3,503 ft, 39 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at KMEM was 75 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 230°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

After landing, the MD-11 taxied to parking in 8 minutes, covering 2 nm. The entire flight covered 1,048 nm in 176 minutes and used 48,337 lb of fuel.
