Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Every landing in this flight

The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 146 kt, 3 kt below the 149 kt target, and lifted off at 156 kt 3.7 s later, the nose coming up at 2.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 174 kt, 10 kt over 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 923 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 877 m of runway left; gear up at 61 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,990 fpm on average to 923 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 2,620 m runway.

Rolled from 74 m in, drifted 3.1 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 12 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 55 % 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.

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 24

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 90 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 32 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 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −0 kt and +4 kt on the approach speed of 136 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.

Excellent landing flare. It lost 1.8 points, for touching down 6.9° above the aircraft's ground attitude.

The crosswind

5 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 133 kt. Touched down with the nose 3° left of the track, away from the wind, wings level.

Wind 320° at 5 kt · 1 kt head · 5 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 132 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 26 s, an average deceleration of 0.21 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 15 ft. Touched down 379 m in, 75 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 500 fpm at the flare to 130 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.1° 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 Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 28L. The aircraft used 1 439 m of runway, which is 55 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather at departure was 11 °C with wind 20 kt from 230°, giving a 14 kt headwind and a 14 kt crosswind.

Initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 25 seconds at an average rate of 1 903 fpm, reaching 180 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1 184 ft asl to 36 623 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 133 nm and beginning about 1 mile west of Dublin.

Cruise was level at 37 000 ft asl for 38 minutes, covering 313 nm, beginning about 2 miles east of EGMW North Wales Gliding Club Llandegla.

Descent began from 36 965 ft asl to 1 626 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 132 nm, starting roughly 1 mile north of Linschoten.

Final approach to runway 24 at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK) started from 1 417 ft agl and descended to 88 ft agl in 107 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1 000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 2 203 ft agl while the aircraft was at 192 kt. The final flap position (flap 5) was selected at 1 715 ft agl with a speed of 155 kt.

Landing was made on runway 24, whose length is 2 444 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 137 kt. The flare was described as excellent, although the nose was raised too far. Touchdown occurred 379 m down the runway at a speed of 132 kt, a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 134 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 4.7 m. Local weather at landing was 11 °C with wind 6 kt from 320°, giving a 1 kt headwind and a 6 kt crosswind. No bounce was observed.

Total landing distance was 1 388 m, which is 57 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering 1 nm.

The flight covered a total of 586 nm in 95 minutes and consumed 3 519 kg of fuel.
