Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.7 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 135 kt well before the stabilisation gate.

What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 31 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 83 m past the target point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 135 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Reached 35 ft with 2,143 m of runway left; gear up at 5 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,900 fpm on average to 897 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 3,056 m runway.

Rolled from 57 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 9.7 m at the widest, and lifted off 7.4 m left, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 16 % 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

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3° and speed more than 20 kt above the approach speed of 135 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: high all the way, fast all the way, banked until 1.8 nm, sinking too fast until 0.8 nm, right of the centreline from 1.0 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 YAMB 15

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

High from 2.5 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to 590 ft over).

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.

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 flare96.89

The flare tracked the target profile closely. The flare was flown from 117 ft agl over the threshold, well above the target height, so the aircraft was above the profile for most of the landing. Touchdown was 540 m past the threshold. The flare cannot recover height that was never lost - fly the approach down to the aim point and the flare has somewhere to start from.

The crosswind

11 kt across from the left, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 138 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 100° at 13 kt · 7 kt head · 11 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 133 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 23 s, an average deceleration of 0.24 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.

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.

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

A Boeing F/A-18E departed RAAF Base Amberley, taking off from runway 15 with a takeoff distance of 508 meters, representing 17% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 178 knots, with a local temperature of 30°C and wind conditions of 13 knots at 130 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, ascending from 829 feet above sea level to 25,986 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.

Throughout the flight, the aircraft engaged in multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, with the longest level cruise lasting 18 minutes and covering 130 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced several enroute descents, with the steepest descent occurring from 26,050 feet to 1,925 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at RAAF Base Amberley was initiated from the north, with the aircraft touching down 89 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -380 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,068 meters, representing 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft used a total of 33 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 519 nautical miles and lasted 72 minutes. The flight's performance was affected by the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and wind conditions of 13 knots at 100 degrees.
