What went well

Touched down at -102 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 49 ft and 115 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.60 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 1,000 ft gate 57 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −1.90 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 520 m at 93 %, −0.07 points

Next time

Arrival

Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.

What happened: Touchdown point came 63 m past the target, landing at 520 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival 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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 121 kt, 8 kt above the 113 kt target, and lifted off at 129 kt 2.7 s later, the nose coming up at 2.7° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 158 kt target, at 159 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 922 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,610 m of runway left; gear up at 56 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,940 fpm on average to 922 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 3,023 m runway.

Rolled from 190 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 1.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.9 m right. Airborne 38 % 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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set and speed more than 28 kt above the approach speed of 111 kt.

At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 17 kt above the approach speed of 111 kt.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.2 nm, about 130 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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 KBOS 27

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 20 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 52× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 5 m 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 28 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 0.2 nm (up to +82 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, 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.

The stop

From 103 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 62 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 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.

Crossed the threshold at 49 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 32 ft. Touched down 520 m in, 215 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 620 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.0° 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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (CYOW), the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 14, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,166-meter runway, which represented 39% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 130 knots, clearing the ground with ease.

As the RJ85 climbed away from CYOW, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,361 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 31,005 feet, a vertical gain of 29,644 feet over a distance of 151 nautical miles. This climb phase took approximately 23 minutes to complete. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 5 minutes as it covered a distance of 42 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced shortly thereafter, with the aircraft descending from 31,008 feet to 1,320 feet above sea level, a vertical loss of 29,688 feet over a distance of 144 nautical miles. This descent phase also took approximately 23 minutes to complete.

As the RJ85 approached Logan International Airport (KBOS), it began its final approach to runway 27, aligning itself with the runway from the east at an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 102 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -107 feet per minute. The touchdown point was located 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following a total landing distance of 1,003 meters, which represented 46% of the runway length, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed its journey from CYOW to KBOS. The total flight distance was 346 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,109 kilograms of fuel during the 63-minute flight.
