What went well

Held the centreline on the roll in a 12 kn crosswind — 10.22 m off at liftoff
Touched down at -132 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 20 ft and 139 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 15.99 m left at 71 %, −0.88 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 208 kt against 168 kt at 70 %, −0.80 points
Arrival Touchdown — Runway alignment max 21.60 m left at 41 %, −0.68 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 168 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 40 kt fast at 208 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 168 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.

What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 25 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 16 m.

Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival LandingArrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 156 kt, 3 kt above the 153 kt target, and lifted off at 161 kt 1.5 s later, the nose coming up at 3.1° a second. Climb 3 averaged 208 kt, 40 kt over its 168 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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,685 m of runway left; gear up at 6 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,520 fpm on average to 920 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.

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 to 0.3 nm, then not again: 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.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 100 ft below 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.

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.

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 crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 134 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, 2° of bank.

Wind 320° at 13 kt · 12 kt head · 4 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 128 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 19 s, an average deceleration of 0.27 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.

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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A321-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 25L at OPKC Jinnah International Airport, a movement that required 19 minutes and covered 4 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 25L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,386 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and lifted off at 161 kt. Ambient conditions were 35 °C with a wind of 17 kt from 210°, providing a 12 kt headwind and a 12 kt cross-wind component.

Climb commenced one mile north of OPSF Faisal Air Base, with the flight ascending from 1,060 ft asl to 36,009 ft asl-a gain of 34,949 ft-over 24 minutes while covering 165 nm.

The first cruise segment began 15 nm west of OPOR Ormara Airport and persisted for 50 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 388 nm at level flight.

Descent started 24 nm south-west of FM04 Gulf of Oman, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 36,028 ft asl to 12,194 ft asl, a loss of 23,835 ft, in 11 minutes while covering 82 nm.

A brief cruise followed 15 nm south-west of OMFJ Fujairah International Airport, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 7 nm.

The next descent began 13 nm south of OMAO Adh Dhayd Airport, with altitude decreasing from 12,008 ft asl to 3,622 ft asl-a drop of 8,386 ft-over 13 minutes and a distance of 54 nm.

A short cruise segment originated 15 nm north-east of OMDE Dubai Airport, lasting 7 minutes and covering 18 nm.

Descent over OMSH Sharjah Airport reduced altitude from 2,537 ft asl to 1,269 ft asl, a loss of 1,269 ft, in 2 minutes while travelling 4 nm.

On final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,288 ft agl to 78 ft agl in 103 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 30L, which measures 4,304 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 120 m beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 242 fpm and a lateral deviation of 25.5 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 40 °C, wind 11 kt from 318°, a 3 kt cross-wind and an 11 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,158 m, equivalent to 27 % of the runway, and the rollout was later noted as being misaligned by 24.1 m from the centreline.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 9 minutes, traversing a distance of 2 nm.

In total, the flight covered 733 nm, required 124 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 398 kg of fuel.
