Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 79 kt fast at 249 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 786 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 582 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 138 kt, 7 kt below the 145 kt target, and lifted off at 152 kt 2.9 s later, the nose coming up at 2.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 249 kt, 79 kt over its 170 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 886 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 1,370 m of runway left; gear up at 15 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 880 fpm on average to 886 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 3,108 m runway.

Rolled from 233 m in, never more than 1 m off the centreline. Airborne 41 % 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 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 0.4 nm, then not again: low 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.

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 70 ft under).

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 5× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 80 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 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +8 kt and +15 kt on the approach speed of 144 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 flare77.66

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare arrested the sink and then let it come back - 786 fpm of it - so the aircraft dropped the last few feet. Touchdown was 363 m past the threshold. Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 0 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 154 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 45 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 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.

Began the flare at 36 ft, 393 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 14 ft, 36 ft below the 50 ft target; ballooned 8 ft from 6 ft. Touched down 363 m in, 59 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 220 fpm before coming down at 580 fpm to touch. The pitch barely changed.

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

The Airbus A320neo departed from runway 03L at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport. Rotation was achieved at 138 kt and the take-off run was 1,282 m (41 % of the runway). Local weather was 17 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 58 seconds, averaging 804 fpm and reaching 247 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 986 ft asl to 37,948 ft asl in 13 minutes, covering 83 nm, beginning the climb 3 nm east of Telde. After reaching cruise, it levelled at 38,000 ft asl for 8 minutes, covering 58 nm, starting 43 nm north-west of El Cotillo. Descent began from 38,000 ft asl to 26,013 ft asl in 5 minutes, covering 36 nm, starting 52 nm north-west of Caleta de Sebo. The flight then levelled at 26,000 ft asl for 95 minutes, covering 695 nm, starting 77 nm north of Caleta de Sebo. A further descent from 26,000 ft asl to 3,200 ft asl took 16 minutes and covered 87 nm, beginning 8 nm north of Navalpino.

On final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,296 ft agl to 46 ft agl in 89 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 down at 1,965 ft agl at 288 kt and the final flap position 3 was selected at 2,000 ft agl at 217 kt.

Landing was made on runway 32R (runway length 2,996 m). The threshold speed was slightly above target at 151 kt. The flare was described as good; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 363 m from the threshold at 149 kt, a little fast, with a very hard rate of minus 583 fpm. The touchdown point was 4.7 m off the centreline but no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 787 m (26 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good.

Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 15 minutes and covered 3 nm. The total flight covered 970 nm in 157 minutes and used 3,205 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
