From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 135 kt, 9 kt below the 144 kt target, and lifted off at 143 kt 2.7 s later, the nose coming up at 3.6° a second. Climb 3 averaged 174 kt, 10 kt over its 164 kt target.
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.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 800 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 2,100 m of runway left; gear up at 53 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,700 fpm on average to 800 ft.
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 3,570 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 1 m off the centreline. Airborne 30 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
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.
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 3.1 nm, about 1,050 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 1,000 ft gate, so through both gates. The last to settle was the speed.
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.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 20 ft below the slope.
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 22× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 16 m off the centreline.
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 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 4 nm to 3.1 nm (up to +40 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
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.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Excellent landing flare. It lost 1.7 points, for touching down 6.8° above the aircraft's ground attitude.
Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 334° at 3 kt · 1 kt head · 2 kt across
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.
From 125 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 42 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 g.
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 1,606 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 44 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 21 ft. Touched down 461 m in, 156 m past the ideal 305 m.
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 1,606 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 610 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.3° 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.
Plan view — the first 1,606 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1.6 m right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.2 m right at the widest.
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.
The 461 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,082 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and lifted off at 143 kt. Ambient conditions were 28 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 109°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Le Grand-Saconnex, rising from 1,739 ft asl to 29,547 ft asl, an altitude gain of 27,808 ft achieved in 11 minutes while traversing 56 nm.
Level cruise began above Rechthalten in the Canton of Fribourg and was maintained for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 66 nm.
Descent started over Esslingen in the Canton of Zurich, descending from 30,002 ft asl to 2,772 ft asl, a loss of 27,230 ft in 29 minutes and spanning 173 nm.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,295 ft agl. The approach segment continued with a descent from 1,323 ft agl to 75 ft agl in 100 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 26L was executed with a threshold speed of 131 kt. Touchdown occurred 461 m down the runway at 123 kt, with a smooth vertical speed of minus 123 fpm and excellent alignment. Local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 350°, a 4 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
Runway rollout was completed within a total landing distance of 1,525 m, equivalent to 38 % of the runway length, and the alignment during rollout was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 307 nm, took 64 minutes, and consumed 2,316 kg of fuel.
