Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 164 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 25 kt fast at 189 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 164 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival 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 162 kt, 9 kt above the 153 kt target, and lifted off at 171 kt 2.6 s later, the nose coming up at 2.2° a second. Climb 3 averaged 189 kt, 25 kt over its 164 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 895 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,629 m of runway left; gear up at 18 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,560 fpm on average to 895 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 3,685 m runway.

Rolled from 113 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 5.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 5.2 m right, in 5 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 45 % 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.

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 ESSA 19L

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 50 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 1 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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −1 kt and +3 kt on the approach speed of 139 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.

The flare59.26

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.6° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 327 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

10 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 140 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 129° at 12 kt · 6 kt head · 10 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.

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 16 ft. Touched down 327 m in, close to 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 560 fpm at the flare to 460 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.5° 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 1,524 m of the 2,484 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 5.2 m left of the centreline and drifted to 9.3 m left on the rollout.

How to read this

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

The Airbus A320-ceo departed Warsaw-Chopin Airport (EPWA) on runway 15. The take-off roll was 1,679 m, using 46 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 162 kt. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind from 199° at 9 kt (crosswind 7 kt, headwind 6 kt).

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 18 seconds, averaging 2,288 fpm and reaching 188 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,323 ft asl to 34,012 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 126 nm, beginning the climb overhead Dawidy. Cruise was maintained at 34,000 ft asl for 35 minutes, covering 273 nm, starting 1 mile south of Gruta. Descent began from 33,995 ft asl and continued to 1,440 ft asl in 30 minutes, covering 150 nm, starting 25 miles east of Vaestervik, with brief level-offs at 17,000 ft asl and 3,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 19L at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ESSA) started from 1,378 ft agl and descended to 61 ft agl in 108 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. The landing gear was lowered at 2,195 ft agl at 145 kt, and the final flap position 5 was selected at 2,434 ft agl at 147 kt.

The aircraft touched down on runway 19L, whose length is 2,484 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 142 kt, described as good. Touchdown occurred 140 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, noted as a little fast, with a hard rate of -460 fpm. The touchdown point was 5.2 m off the centreline and a single bounce was observed. Runway rollout distance was 1,089 m, 44 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was 8.3 m off the centreline.

Local weather at the destination was 10 °C with a wind from 130° at 14 kt (crosswind 13 kt, headwind 7 kt). After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm. The total flight covered 559 nm in 98 minutes and used 3,871 kg of fuel.
