What went well

Touched down at -256 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 3.23 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 100 %

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 66 ft agl was above target at 76 %, −0.41 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 677 m at 76 %, −0.26 points

Next time

Arrival

Fly a slightly steeper approach path to cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 66 ft agl.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 66 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, above the normal profile. This fault pattern is often followed by a long touchdown beyond the target point, and here the aircraft touched down at 677 m against a 457 m target.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

A clean takeoff

Rotated at 146 kt against the 151 kt rotate speed, the nose rising at 2.3° a second, then held 13.2° from 35 ft, within 5.2° 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 3,092 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 2.5 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 50 % 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 957 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,146 m of runway left; gear up at 18 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,230 fpm on average to 957 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 2.1 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 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 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 EDDK 31R

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 80 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. 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.

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 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +1 kt and +31 kt on the approach speed of 137 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 flare tracked the target profile exactly

The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 677 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

Side view — the last 1,848 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 65 ft, 15 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 25 ft. Touched down 677 m in, 372 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 1,848 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 670 fpm at the flare to 260 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed. Into the flare at 139 kt, on the 137 kt approach speed, and 131 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 1,848 m of the 3,808 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 3.2 m right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.7 m right at the widest. No crosswind: 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.

From 124 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 36 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 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 departed from runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The take-off roll was 1,565 m, 51 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather was 4 °C with wind 3 kt from 332°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 24 seconds, averaging 1,852 fpm and reaching 175 kt at the top. The climb continued from 1,060 ft asl to 27,975 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 66 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-west of Hamburg-Nord. Level cruise at 28,000 ft asl lasted 8 minutes and covered 54 nm, starting about 1 mile south-east of Stockse. Descent from 27,749 ft asl to 1,677 ft asl took 19 minutes, covering 94 nm, beginning about 1 mile east of Altenbeken.

Final approach to runway 31R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport began with a descent from 1,474 ft agl to 139 ft agl in 98 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. The landing gear was lowered at 2,670 ft agl at 190 kt; final flap position 5 was selected at 1,001 ft agl at 154 kt.

The aircraft landed on runway 31R, whose length is 3,808 m. The threshold height of 66 ft agl was above target, while the threshold speed of 140 kt was good. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 255 m beyond the touchdown zone at 131 kt, a little fast, with a fair rate of -256 fpm. The touchdown point was 3.7 m off the centreline but alignment on rollout was perfect. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,761 m, 46 % of the runway.

Local weather at landing was 7 °C with wind 7 kt from 310°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 222 nm in 49 minutes and used 2,006 kg of fuel.
