What went well

Flare on profile — 92 %
1.24 G at touchdown — inside band
Rollout held the centreline — 5.73 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 228 kt against 173 kt at 50 %, −1.35 points
Arrival Rollout — Landing distance 1,261 m at 86 %, −0.63 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 63 ft agl was above target at 83 %, Threshold speed was well above target at 123 kt at 88 %, −0.60 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 173 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 55 kt fast at 228 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 173 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 108 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 63 ft agl, 13 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 123 kt, 15 kt over the 108 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 244 m beyond the aim point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 108 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 141 kt, 16 kt above the 125 kt target, and lifted off at 154 kt 2.5 s later, the nose coming up at 1.9° a second. Climb 3 averaged 228 kt, 55 kt over its 173 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 1,071 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 788 m of runway left; gear up at 87 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,070 fpm on average to 1,071 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 1,799 m runway.

Rolled from 37 m in, drifted 4.8 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 6 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 47 % 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 1.1 nm, then not again: fast 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.

The approach to EGJJ 26

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 40 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 15× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.6 nm, then drifted 25 m right between 0.6 and 0.3 nm, then inside the band from 0.3 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 27 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 16 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.1 nm, then fast to 0.7 nm (up to +15 kt), then inside the band to 0.3 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +15 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.

The flare91.92

The flare held the target profile well. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 2.9° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 701 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 240° at 7 kt · 7 kt head · 2 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 99 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 31 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 62 ft, 12 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 41 ft. Touched down 701 m in, 396 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 380 fpm at the flare to 210 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.9° on the way down.

How to read this

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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The Hawker H25B departed from runway 21 at EGKB London Biggin Hill Airport. The take-off roll was 842 m, 47 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 141 kt. Local weather was 16 °C with wind 18 kt from 230°, giving a 7 kt cross-wind and a 16 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 28 seconds, averaging 1,959 fpm and reaching 266 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,696 ft asl to 25,286 ft asl in 25 minutes, covering 132 nm, with a brief level-off at 18,800 ft asl.

Descent began from 25,289 ft asl to 1,549 ft asl in 13 minutes, covering 60 nm, starting 9 miles east of Reville. The final approach to runway 26 at EGJJ Jersey Airport descended from 1,325 ft agl to 69 ft agl in 125 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Autopilot was disconnected at 314 ft agl, with airspeed at 121 kt.

Landing on runway 26 (runway length 1,609 m) had a threshold height of 63 ft agl, which was above target, and a threshold speed of 123 kt, also above target. The flare was described as very good, though the aircraft ballooned in the flare. Touchdown occurred 275 m beyond the touchdown zone at 106 kt, a little fast, with a fair rate of -210 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 7.2 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 1,261 m, 78 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly off by 7.9 m from the centreline. Local weather at Jersey was 15 °C with wind 8 kt from 240°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind.

The flight covered 199 nm in 44 minutes and used 518 kg of fuel.
