What went well

Held the centreline on the roll in a 11 kn crosswind — 1.14 m off at liftoff
Touchdown 458 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 45 ft and 127 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 55.70 m left at 0 %, −3.75 points
Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 ft agl at 0 %, −2.00 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -257 fpm at 81 %, −0.36 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.

What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.

Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.

What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 56 m off the centreline.

Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout

See Arrival Rollout

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 138 kt, 12 kt below the 150 kt target, and lifted off at 153 kt 3.6 s later, the nose coming up at 1.3° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 174 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 933 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,589 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,930 fpm on average to 933 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 2,882 m runway.

Rolled from 57 m in, drifted 4.7 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 11 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 35 % 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 0.2 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 0.2 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 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 30 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 21× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then 17 m right of it 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −3 kt and +5 kt on the approach speed of 128 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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

23 kt across from the left, which takes about 11° of crab to hold the centreline at 120 kt. Touched down with the nose 15° into wind, wings level.

Wind 029° at 23 kt · 0 kt head · 23 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 116 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 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.

Crossed the threshold at 45 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 41 ft. Touched down 458 m in, 153 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 760 fpm at the flare to 260 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.5° 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.

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

A Boeing 787-8 departed from London Gatwick Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 18 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 26L, utilizing 41% of the 2,542-meter runway to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,028 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 154 knots, with a local temperature of 19°C and wind conditions of 26 knots at 230 degrees, resulting in a 12-knot crosswind and 23-knot headwind.

The enroute climb phase commenced overhead Charlwood, Surrey, England, where the aircraft ascended from 1,233 feet above sea level to 4,600 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The climb phase continued with multiple level cruises and descents, with notable climbs from 4,626 feet to 40,960 feet over Wadhurst, East Sussex, England, and from 41,034 feet to 19,479 feet over Silba, Croatia. The aircraft also experienced several level cruises, including a 59-minute cruise from 3 miles south of Rendeux, Belgium, covering 519 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,038 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 145 minutes.

The aircraft began its final approach to runway 11 at Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport from the north-west, heading 118.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below target at 127 knots, and the touchdown point was 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was -208 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 55.2 meters from the centerline. The aircraft used 12,599 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
