Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 4.7°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 52 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 52 ft, 6.9 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 287 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 140 kt, 11 kt below the 151 kt target, and lifted off at 155 kt 5.3 s later, the nose coming up at 1.0° a second.

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.

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.

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

Not every check held at once from 0.5 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 FHAW 13

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 60 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, 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 20× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.5 nm, then drifted 19 m left between 0.5 and 0.2 nm, then inside the band from 0.2 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 flare94.01

The flare held the target profile well. The flare began at 52 ft agl above the runway, higher than this aircraft wants. Touchdown was 155 m past the threshold. Hold the aim point and let the runway come to you rather than anticipating the flare.

The crosswind

No wind recorded: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° right of the track, wings level.

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.

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

Began the flare high, at 52 ft, 212 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 14 ft, 36 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 155 m in, 150 m short of 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 870 fpm at the flare to 290 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.8° 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.

The Airbus A330-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 10 at EGYP Mount Pleasant Airport in 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 10 with a distance of 1,658 m, which was 64 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 140 kt. Local weather at departure was 6 °C, wind 6 kt from 269°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 6 kt tailwind component.

The initial climb to 400 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 916 fpm and reaching 204 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 596 ft asl to 38,861 ft asl in 27 minutes, covering 192 nm, beginning the climb overhead EGYP Mount Pleasant.

Cruise was maintained at 39,000 ft asl for 374 minutes, covering 3,118 nm, with the position at the start of cruise at latitude -50.0677242, longitude -54.1512641.

Descent began from 38,524 ft asl to 1,566 ft asl in 27 minutes, covering 144 nm, starting 99 miles south-west of FHAW RAF Ascension Island (Cat Hill).

On final approach to runway 13 at FHAW RAF Ascension Island, the aircraft descended from 1,395 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 114 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.

Landing was made on runway 13, whose length is 3,051 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 127 kt, described as good. The flare was noted as excellent. Touchdown occurred 155 m down the runway at a speed of 126 kt, also described as good, with a touchdown rate of minus 288 fpm, described as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. No bounce occurred. Local weather at landing was 29 °C, wind 16 kt from 150°, with a 9 kt crosswind and a 13 kt headwind component.
