Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 134 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 146 kt, 12 kt above the 134 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 134 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

A clean takeoff

Rotated at 147 kt against the 151 kt rotate speed, the nose rising at 2.5° a second, then held 18.2° from 35 ft, within 2.3° top to bottom.

Rotated on speed at a steady rate, and the climb attitude held. This is the takeoff to repeat: the same speed check, the same pull, the same attitude.

Plan view the roll down the 1,881 m runway.

Rolled from 123 m in, drifted 2.1 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 76 % of the way down the runway, past 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 914 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 172 m of runway left; gear up at 90 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,750 fpm on average to 914 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.

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 2.1 to 2.9° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320ceo pilots over the last 180 days (230 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11.7°, 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 3.8 to 0.3 nm, then not again: fast from 0.3 nm and left 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.

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.

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 1,561 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 40 ft, 12 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 37 ft, 13 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 419 m in, 114 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 1,561 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

The Airbus A320-ceo departed from runway 17 at EGAA Belfast International Airport. The take-off roll used 1,402 m, about 75 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather was 9 °C with a wind 5 kt from 180°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 18 seconds, averaging 2,496 fpm and reaching 172 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,275 ft asl to 37,006 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 143 nm and passing overhead Crumlin. Level cruise was held at 37,000 ft asl for 60 minutes, covering 513 nm, with the aircraft overhead Saughall.

Descent began at 36,814 ft asl and proceeded to 2,467 ft asl in 40 minutes, covering 202 nm. The descent started 1 mile south-east of Hemsbach and included brief level-offs at 29,000 ft asl and 5,100 ft asl. The final approach to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport descended from 1,283 ft agl to 20 ft agl in 106 seconds.

Stabilisation checks were performed at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway and were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 1,575 ft agl at 182 kt; the final flap position 5 was selected at 1,198 ft agl at 166 kt.

Landing on runway 25 used a runway length of 3,335 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 146 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 419 m down the runway at 138 kt, a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 259 fpm, which was fair. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was perfect, and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,478 m, 44 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 869 nm in 136 minutes and consumed 5,356 kg of fuel.
