  • Arrival Landing · flare: the descent was not taken out−0.16

Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 160 kt, 10 kt above the 150 kt target, and lifted off at 169 kt 3.6 s later, the nose coming up at 2.0° a second. Climb 3 averaged 173 kt, 9 kt over its 164 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 757 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 783 m of runway left; gear up at 58 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,350 fpm on average to 757 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 3,958 m runway.

Rolled from 729 m in, drifted 4.1 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 71 % 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.

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 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 YBNA 06

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 90 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −1 kt and +12 kt on the approach speed of 138 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 flare90.36

The flare mostly held the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 0.9° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 354 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, 3° of bank.

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.

Side view — the last 1,601 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 41 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 20 ft. Touched down 354 m in, 50 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 1,601 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 270 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.8° 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo departed Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 34L. The take-off roll used 2,806 m, which is 71 % of the runway length, and rotation occurred at 160 kt. Local weather at departure was 26 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 030°, giving a 3 kt head-wind and a 3 kt cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 17 seconds, averaging 2,076 fpm and reaching 173 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 826 ft asl to 34,894 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 128 nm and passing overhead Tempe. Cruise was level at 35,000 ft asl for 10 minutes, covering 81 nm, beginning about 11 miles north of Bulahdelah. Descent from 34,986 ft asl to 1,247 ft asl took 22 minutes and covered 140 nm, starting 10 miles south-east of Bellbrook.

On final approach to runway 06 at Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (YBNA), descent from 1,292 ft agl to 65 ft agl was completed in 99 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The aircraft’s configuration was landing gear down at 1,902 ft agl with a speed of 207 kt, and final flap position 5 was selected at 1,517 ft agl with a speed of 171 kt.

Landing was made on runway 06, whose length is 1,896 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 140 kt. The flare was described as very good, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred at 138 kt, a little fast, and the vertical speed was fair at minus 268 fpm. Touchdown distance was good at 354 m, though the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.3 m from the centreline. One bounce occurred on touchdown. Total landing distance was 1,519 m, representing 80 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 357 nm in 59 minutes and used 2,466 kg of fuel. Local weather at Ballina was 21 °C.
