Next time

Arrival

Reduce power on approach to bring threshold speed back to 134 kt.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 147 kt, 13 kt above the 134 kt target, then ballooned in the flare as the excess speed met the flare's back pressure. Crossing fast and ballooning like this usually carries the touchdown long.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 134 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 152 kt, on the 150 kt target, and lifted off at 160 kt 1.5 s later, the nose coming up at 2.4° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 202 kt target, at 202 kt on average.

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 934 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,596 m of runway left; gear up at 61 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,760 fpm on average to 934 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 3,671 m runway.

Rolled from 47 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 2.4 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.2 m right, in 8 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 22 % 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.

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 0.6 nm, about 210 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.

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 3.3 nm, then high to 2.5 nm (up to 410 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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 6× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 1.4 nm, then drifted 60 m left between 1.4 and 0.6 nm, then inside the band from 0.6 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 +4 kt and +21 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.

Touchdown was 549 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - that excess speed is what turns a normal flare into a balloon, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

The crosswind

7 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 140 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 269° at 22 kt · 21 kt head · 7 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 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 44 ft. Touched down 549 m in, 244 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.

The sink went from 490 fpm at the flare to 260 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.1° on the way down.

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.

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 A350-1000 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff was performed on a 828 m portion of the runway, representing 23 % of its length. Rotation occurred at 152 kt. Local weather at departure was 21 °C with a wind of 30 kt from 270°, giving a 10 kt crosswind component and a 28 kt headwind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 2,464 fpm and reaching 209 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,004 ft asl to 1,482 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 2 nm, remaining overhead Auckland. Level flight was maintained at 1,500 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 15 nm and beginning 2 nm south-west of the airport.

During final approach to runway 23L, descent from 1,488 ft agl to 76 ft agl was completed in 113 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, centreline, speed and wings level; the glideslope check was not met at one gate. At 200 ft agl the aircraft was in final flap position 4 and flying 144 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height was good. Threshold speed was 148 kt, noted as well above target. The flare was described as fair, with the aircraft ballooning in the flare. Touchdown was 123 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 140 kt, which was fast. Touchdown rate was fair at minus 265 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 11.1 m from the centreline, but there was no bounce. Runway rollout alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 969 m, representing 26 % of the runway.

The flight covered a total of 22 nm, lasted 8 minutes and consumed 1,311 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 19 °C with a wind of 29 kt from 270°, giving a 9 kt crosswind component and a 27 kt headwind component.
