See Arrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 146 kt, on the 144 kt target, and lifted off at 152 kt 2.5 s later, the nose coming up at 3.9° a second. Climb 3 averaged 164 kt, 15 kt under its 179 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 951 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 5,565 ft of runway left; gear up at 195 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,650 fpm on average to 951 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 10,112 ft runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 3 ft off the centreline, in 5 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 36 % 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 KSTL 12L

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 40 ft below 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, 1,000 ft 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 60 ft 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 +6 kt and +10 kt on the approach speed of 135 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.

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

Wind 125° at 6 kt · 6 kt head · 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.

The stop

From 138 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 24 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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 36 ft, 274 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 26 ft, 24 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 998 ft in, close to the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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 520 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.2° 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.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,016 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 8 ft right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 13 ft right at the widest.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-800 departed KPHL Philadelphia International Airport on runway 27L. The take-off roll was 3,639 ft, 36 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather was 54 °F with wind 1 kt from 332°, crosswind 1 kt and no headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 32 seconds, averaging 1,603 fpm and reaching 173 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,010 ft asl to 36,000 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 93 nm, beginning the climb overhead 9N2 Philadelphia Seaplane Base Essington.

Cruise was maintained at 36,000 ft asl for 79 minutes, covering 487 nm, with the flight starting about 1 mile north of Arendtsville. Descent began at 35,632 ft asl and proceeded to 1,914 ft asl in 30 minutes, covering 149 nm, starting 2 miles south-east of IL-39 Perry RLA Airport Kansas.

On final approach to runway 12L at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport, descent from 1,431 ft agl to 123 ft agl took 107 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. Configuration was landing gear down at 4,507 ft agl at 180 kt; final flap position 8 was selected at 2,616 ft agl at 169 kt.

Landing on runway 12L (runway length 9,016 ft) had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly above target at 143 kt. The flare was described as perfect, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 1,088 ft down the runway at 140 kt, a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 154 fpm and very good alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 3,255 ft, 36 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 737 nm in 142 minutes and used 12,626 lb of fuel.
