Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.

What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.

Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Apply small, early rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline from touchdown onward.

What happened: The aircraft drifted 30 m off the centreline during the landing roll, and by touchdown the offset had grown to 25 m. A centreline deviation that appears on landing usually carries through to a larger offset at touchdown.

Watch for: Centreline marker: aircraft tracking straight over the runway centreline, not drifting to either side.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 169 kt, 19 kt above the 150 kt target, and lifted off at 175 kt 1.0 s later, the nose coming up at 2.1° a second. Climb 3 averaged 206 kt, 32 kt over its 174 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 794 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,941 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,760 fpm on average to 794 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 2,822 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 9.8 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 19 % 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.

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 4 nm to 0.7 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 0.7 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 EIDW 28L

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 30 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 16× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.7 nm, then 23 m right of it from 0.7 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 31 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +0 kt and +5 kt on the approach speed of 122 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 flare75.23

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare arrested the sink and then let it come back - 581 fpm of it - so the aircraft dropped the last few feet. Touchdown was 846 m past the threshold. Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 8° left of the track, 7° of bank.

Wind 247° at 6 kt · 5 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 116 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 26 s, an average deceleration of 0.18 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 1,689 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.

Descent started 1 nm north of Aughton, lowering the aircraft from 31 546 ft asl to 8 110 ft asl, a loss of 23 436 ft in 22 minutes and spanning 103 nm.

A second cruise phase was initiated 13 nm north-east of Loughshinny, lasting 7 minutes and covering 27 nm.

The next descent began 15 nm north-east of Greystones, reducing altitude from 8 004 ft asl to 1 506 ft asl, a decrease of 6 498 ft in 9 minutes over 21 nm.

Final approach to runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 275.0°, at 4 nm and 1 284 ft agl.

Landing on runway 28L, which is 2 620 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 122 kt; the touchdown point was 426 m beyond the touchdown zone and the aircraft touched down at 119 kt, a rate of minus 350 fpm. The touchdown was offset 25.0 m from the centreline. Ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 250°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1 604 m, representing 61 % of the runway.

Runway rollout showed a lateral deviation of 23.2 m from the centreline.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand, a taxi-in that required 6 minutes and covered 2 nm.

In total, the flight covered 478 nm, took 104 minutes, and consumed 3 016 kg of fuel.
