Touchdown 15 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 4.42 m off the centreline, no bounce
Rollout controlled — 35 % of the runway used

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -542 fpm at 29 %, g force 1.06 to 1.53 g at 84 %, −1.05 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 71 %, −0.64 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 6.46 m left at 88 %, −0.17 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.5 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on final to cross the threshold at 151 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 10 kt below the 151 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 1.8° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 151 kt at the threshold

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.

Rolled from 182 m in, drifted 6.6 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 66 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 926 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 439 m of runway left; gear up at 44 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,770 fpm on average to 926 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.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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.

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 1.8 to 0.4 nm, then not again: slow from 0.4 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.

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.

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 38 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 23 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 2.2 nm, then slow to 1.8 nm (up to −8 kt), then inside the band to 0.4 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −10 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.

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

Began the flare at 26 ft, 142 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 2 ft, 48 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 15 m in, 290 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Flight narrative

Departing from KBED Laurence G Hanscom Field, the Boeing 747-8 began its journey with a taxiing period of 21 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 29, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 173 knots after a takeoff distance of 1,409 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 269°, resulting in a 20-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Concord, Massachusetts, and continued to ascend to 32,972 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,826 feet in 13 minutes, covering 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 14 minutes and covering 547 nautical miles, before initiating another climb 23 miles west of Saint-Pierre, Saint Pierre and Miquelon. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend to 35,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,012 feet in 3 minutes, covering 141 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with the final level cruise phase lasting 22 minutes and covering 577 nautical miles.

As the aircraft began its descent 1 mile south of Lit-et-Mixe, France, it started its final approach to runway 14R at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport from the northwest, heading 143.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,216 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below target at 141 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 16 meters. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 141 knots, with a touchdown rate of -658 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,263 meters, accounting for 36% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After taxiing to the parking from the runway, the aircraft completed its journey, having covered a total distance of 3,095 nautical miles and consuming 31,317 kilograms of fuel.
