Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 565 m at 88 %, −0.22 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 124 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 142 kt against a target of 124 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 124 kt at the threshold.

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 152 kt, 5 kt above the 147 kt target, and lifted off at 158 kt 1.4 s later, the nose coming up at 2.4° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 175 kt target, at 173 kt on average.

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 840 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,564 m of runway left; gear up at 5 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 3,280 fpm on average to 840 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 3,671 m runway.

Rolled from 717 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 4.4 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.4 m right, in 9 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 23 % 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 3.5 to 1.1 nm, then not again: fast from 1.1 nm and left of the centreline from 0.8 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 NZAA 23L

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 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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.8 nm, then 27 m left of it from 0.8 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.

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 flare99.12

Excellent landing flare. It lost 0.9 points, for 338 fpm of sink coming back after the flare.

The crosswind

9 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 122 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° left of the track, away from the wind, wings level.

Wind 280° at 20 kt · 17 kt head · 9 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 105 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 s, an average deceleration of 0.25 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.

Began the flare at 36 ft, 8 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 33 ft, 17 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 565 m in, 261 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 490 fpm at the flare to 170 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.9° 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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-900 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff used 875 m, which is 24 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 152 kt. The local weather at departure was 20 °C with a wind of 30 kt from 270°, giving a 10 kt cross-wind component and a 28 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 13 seconds, averaging 3,083 fpm and reaching 174 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 962 ft asl to 1,501 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, remaining overhead Auckland.

Level flight was maintained at 1,500 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 14 nm, beginning 2 nm south of NZAA.

During final approach to runway 23L, descent was from 1,483 ft agl to 86 ft agl in 115 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The aircraft was in final flap position 4 at 1,202 ft agl with a speed of 156 kt.

Landing was made on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 143 kt, noted as well above target. The flare was described as very good; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 142 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 122 kt, a little fast, and a descent rate of minus 175 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.5 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 16 °C with a wind of 16 kt from 280°, giving an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 14 kt head-wind component. No bounce occurred.

The total landing roll was 891 m, which is 24 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. The entire flight covered 23 nm, lasted 9 minutes, and consumed 1,225 kg of fuel.
