Next time

Arrival

Fly a slightly steeper approach path to cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 70 ft agl.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 70 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, above the normal profile. This fault pattern is often followed by a long touchdown beyond the target point, and here the aircraft touched down at 970 m against a 457 m target.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Liftoff pitch close to a tail strike

The wheels left at 10.7°, 0.9° short of this aircraft's 11.6° tail strike.

The tail can only touch while the main wheels are still on the runway, so the margin that matters is the one at liftoff. Rotate at the rotate speed, at the normal rate, and let the aircraft fly itself off at its own attitude: keep the pull going towards the climb attitude only once the wheels have left. Rotating early, or pulling faster than the aircraft can lift off, is what eats the margin.

Plan view the roll down the 4,334 m runway.

Rolled from 160 m in, drifted 3.3 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 46 % 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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,937 m of runway left; gear up at 68 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,430 fpm on average to 909 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 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 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at: a trace steeper than both is a faster rotation, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11.6°, the pitch at which this aircraft's tail touches the runway with the wheels still on it, drawn from rotation to liftoff only: once the wheels leave, every foot climbed adds tail clearance.

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 1.3 to 0.2 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.2 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.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 320 ft above the slope.

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.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then 13 m left of it from 0.2 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 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

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 1,778 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 70 ft, 20 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 9 ft. Touched down 970 m in, 665 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 1,778 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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 757-200 taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at LEMD, covering 2 nm in 14 minutes. The departure roll used 2,026 m of runway 36L (47 % of the runway). Rotation was achieved at 152 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 19 seconds, averaging 2,359 fpm and reaching 168 kt at the top. The climb continued from 2,966 ft asl to 33,995 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 102 nm, beginning 2 nm north-west of Paracuellos de Jarama. Level cruise at 34,000 ft asl lasted 65 minutes, covering 515 nm, starting 1 nm south-east of Modubar de la Emparedada.

Descent from 33,713 ft asl to 9,257 ft asl took 20 minutes over 118 nm, beginning overhead Blacourt, with brief level-offs at 18,000 ft asl and 10,000 ft asl. A climb from 9,004 ft asl to 10,803 ft asl followed in 2 minutes, covering 7 nm, starting overhead Moorsel. The final descent from 11,943 ft asl to 2,015 ft asl lasted 10 minutes over 37 nm, beginning 1 nm south-west of Londerzeel, with a brief level-off at 3,900 ft asl.

On final approach to runway 25L at EBBR, descent from 1,930 ft agl to 370 ft agl took 97 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level; sink rate was not met at one gate. Configuration on final was flap 6 at 2,554 ft agl, speed 154 kt.

Landing on runway 25L (runway length 3,200 m) had a threshold height of 70 ft agl, above target, and a threshold speed of 136 kt, good. The flare was excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 547 m beyond the touchdown zone at 114 kt, with a rate of -195 fpm, both good. Touchdown position was 14.1 m off the centreline, with no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,691 m (53 % of runway). Runway rollout alignment was slightly off by 11.7 m from centreline.

Local weather at Brussels was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. Taxi from the runway to parking covered 1 nm in 6 minutes. The flight covered 789 nm in 131 minutes, using 7,399 kg of fuel.
