Next time

Arrival

Adjust your approach path so you touch down at the 457 m aim point instead of beyond it.

What happened: Touchdown point came 321 m past the target, landing at 778 m against the 457 m aim point. Landings that touch down this far beyond the aim point typically leave less runway available for stopping.

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

See Arrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 10.2° and 16.3°, and the speed between 176 kt and 187 kt.

Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.

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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The rotation detail below draws the rotation against the rates for this aircraft and its tail-strike pitch, where the slope reads properly. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Rotation detail the pitch over the seconds from rotation to 35 ft, where the slope reads properly.

How to read this

The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 35 ft, stretched so the slope reads properly. The green dot is where the nose started up, the grey band runs to the wheels leaving, and the figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up. The two dashed green lines rising from the rotation point are 1.5 to 2.3° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A350-900 pilots over the last 180 days (59 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one.

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.

Every check met from 4 nm to 0.6 nm, then not again: fast from 0.6 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.

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.

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.

Side view — the last 1,850 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 45 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 29 ft. Touched down 778 m in, 474 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 1,850 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.

Touched down 6.1 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 2.8 m left by the end of the rollout. 5 kt across from the left, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 137 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 291° at 7 kt · 4 kt head · 5 kt across

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. 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 3 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 16L with a take-off distance of 2,068 m (57 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 168 kt. The local weather was 12 °C, wind 2 kt from 199°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 2,330 fpm and reaching 176 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,299 ft asl to 33,867 ft asl in 31 minutes, covering 222 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-west of SeaTac.

Cruise was level between 34,000 ft asl and 40,000 ft asl for 653 minutes, covering 4,810 nm, starting 15 miles south-west of CAU6 Gold River Seaplane Base.

Descent began at 39,999 ft asl and proceeded to 1,328 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 137 nm, from latitude 31.5294687 longitude 123.6395028.

Final approach to runway 35R at Shanghai Pudong International Airport descended from 1,352 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 106 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 on final was landing gear down at 4,575 ft agl and 208 kt; final flap position 4 was selected at 2,660 ft agl and 163 kt.

Landing on runway 35R (runway length 4,006 m) occurred with a threshold speed of 147 kt, slightly above target. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown was 360 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 137 kt, a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 170 fpm. The touchdown point was 6.1 m off the centreline but alignment on rollout was very good. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,768 m (44 % of the runway).

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered a total of 5,179 nm in 725 minutes and used 78,760 kg of fuel.
