Arrival

On final, shallow the descent to match the target approach angle rather than flying a steeper path.

What happened: On final approach at the Final 3 stage, the descent angle was steeper than the target approach path.

Watch for: Watch the approach angle against the target, aiming to keep it closer to 3.2 degrees.

See Arrival Final 3

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 167 kt with 6.0° 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.

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.

The approach to YAMB 15

The final from 4 nm.

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

Inside the glideslope band from 1.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 260 ft 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 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 4× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 1.9 nm, where the final began, to 1.7 nm, then drifted 69 m left between 1.7 and 1.0 nm, then back inside it from 1.0 to 0.6 nm, then 18 m left of it from 0.6 nm to the threshold.

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 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +115 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.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 0 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 177 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 45 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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 56 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 395 m in, 91 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 1,524 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.

The sink went from 1,010 fpm at 56 ft to 470 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.7° 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 short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took less than a minute and covered less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing F/A-18E, then departed from runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley. The takeoff distance was 633 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, and a crosswind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,032 feet above sea level to 26,092 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,060 feet in just 6 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Purga, in the state of Queensland, Australia. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 7 minutes and covering 52 nautical miles, which began 1 mile south east of Redland Bay.

The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 25,812 feet above sea level to 27,879 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,068 feet in just 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. This climb started 11 miles east of Hastings Point, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The aircraft then began its descent from 27,882 feet above sea level to 3,290 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,592 feet in just 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. This descent started 11 miles east of Byron Bay.

The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 3,268 feet above sea level to 27,467 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,200 feet in just 3 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles. This climb started 1 mile south of Broken Head, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Following this, the aircraft began its descent from 27,498 feet above sea level to 27,014 feet above sea level, a decrease of 484 feet in just 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. This descent started 21 miles east of Skennars Head.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 10 minutes and covering 68 nautical miles, which began 17 miles east of Skennars Head. The aircraft then began its descent from 27,610 feet above sea level to 1,251 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,359 feet in just 7 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile south east of Willow Vale, in the state of Queensland, Australia.

The final approach to runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley was made from the north, heading 160.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,153 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 1,189 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 15, with a touchdown distance of 399 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was 177 knots, which was too fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -654 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, and a crosswind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,245 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than a nautical
