What went well

Touched down at -163 fpm — a soft arrival
Flare on profile — 100 %
1.15 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was good at 135 kt at 0 %, Touched down 102 m short of the threshold, so it was never crossed in the air at 0 %, −3.39 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 199 kt against 164 kt at 78 %, −0.59 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touched down 102 m short of the threshold at 55 %, −0.57 points

Next time

Departure

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

What happened: Climb speed was 35 kt fast at 199 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 164 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 134 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 135 kt against a target of 134 kt, and touchdown followed at 102 m, well short of the 457 m aim point. Carrying extra speed over the threshold usually floats the flare and carries the touchdown point short.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, target 134 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 143 kt, 6 kt below the 149 kt target, and lifted off at 172 kt 7.0 s later, the nose coming up at 0.8° a second. Climb 3 averaged 199 kt, 35 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 779 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,797 m of runway left; gear up at 6 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,550 fpm on average to 779 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 3,329 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 5.2 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 36 % 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 0.5 nm, then not again: low from 0.5 nm and right of the centreline from 0.3 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.

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.5 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 90 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 18× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then 11 m right of it from 0.3 nm to the threshold.

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 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −2 kt and +2 kt on the approach speed of 134 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 flare100.00

The aircraft touched down before the threshold. Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.

The crosswind

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

Wind 359° 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 135 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 20 s, an average deceleration of 0.28 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 18 ft, 293 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 51 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 102 m before the threshold.

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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at Brussels Airport (EBBR) for 9 minutes, covering 2 nm, and then departed on runway 25R. Take-off was achieved after a roll of 1,208 m, which was 36 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 143 kt. Local weather at departure was 14 °C with wind 8 kt from 240°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 16 seconds, averaging 2,372 fpm and reaching 201 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,126 ft asl to 36,550 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 88 nm while passing overhead Machelen. Cruise was maintained at 37,000 ft asl for 79 minutes, covering 520 nm with the aircraft overhead Frieres-Faillouel. Descent began from 36,798 ft asl to 3,189 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 138 nm, starting 2 miles east of San Pedro Manrique.

On final approach to runway 32R at Madrid-Barajas Airport (LEMD), descent from 1,276 ft agl to 85 ft agl took 96 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 3,192 ft agl at 207 kt; the final flap position 5 was selected at 2,479 ft agl at 156 kt.

The aircraft touched down on runway 32R, which is 2,996 m long, 102 m short of the threshold, and the threshold was never crossed in the air. Threshold speed was 135 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown speed was 132 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 163 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,041 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 10.0 m from the centreline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 11 minutes, covering 3 nm. The total flight covered 756 nm in 144 minutes and used 4,820 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 15 °C with wind 1 kt from 360°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
