Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 21°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 468 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 378 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 146 kt, 4 kt above the 142 kt target, and lifted off at 152 kt 2.2 s later, the nose coming up at 3.4° a second. Climb 3 averaged 158 kt, 6 kt under its 164 kt target.

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 figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. 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 698 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,456 m of runway left; gear up at 33 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,250 fpm on average to 698 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark.

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.

Every check met from 4 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.

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.

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.

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight.

The flare92.32

The flare held the target profile well. Pitch reached 6.3° at touchdown, well above this aircraft's ground attitude. Touchdown was 666 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

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

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 33 ft, 17 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft; ballooned 3 ft from 8 ft. Touched down 666 m in, 361 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 430 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at 9 ft, then back up to 380 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.3° on the way down.

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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo taxied to runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport and took off, using 1,210 m (40 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 1 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 11 seconds, averaging 2,293 fpm and reaching 158 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 2,316 ft asl to 3,075 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 2 nm, remaining overhead Stuttgart.

Level flight was maintained at 3,100 ft asl for 3 minutes, covering 9 nm and beginning about 1 mile east of Filderstadt.

During final approach to runway 07, descent proceeded from 1,710 ft agl to 409 ft agl in 103 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level.

Landing was on runway 07, whose length is 3,037 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 131 kt. The flare was described as great, although the nose was raised too far. Touchdown occurred 248 m beyond the touchdown zone at 120 kt, a speed judged good, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 378 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 17 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 1 kt. No bounce was observed on touchdown.

The total flight covered 16 nm, lasted 6 minutes and used 0 kg of fuel.
