Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.

What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 698 ft agl.

Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate

See Departure Climb 3

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

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

A slow rotation

The nose came up at 138 kt against the 136 kt rotate speed, and rose at 1.2° a second, slower than the 1.9 to 2.7 other Airbus A319 pilots fly.

The rotation started on speed but the nose came up slowly. Make it one positive, continuous pull at the normal rate for this aircraft, rather than easing the nose up in steps.

Plan view the roll down the 1,996 m runway.

Rolled from 68 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 6.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.3 m left. Airborne 81 % of the way down the runway, past 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 881 ft.

Reached 35 ft 44 m past the runway end; gear up at 698 ft, 298 ft past the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,480 fpm on average to 881 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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The rotation detail below draws the rotation against the rates for this aircraft and its tail-strike pitch, where the slope reads properly. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare.

Rotation detail the pitch over the seconds from rotation to 35 ft, where the slope reads properly.

How to read this

The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 35 ft, stretched so the slope reads properly. The green dot is where the nose started up, the grey band runs to the wheels leaving, and the figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up. The two dashed green lines rising from the rotation point are 1.9 to 2.7° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A319 pilots over the last 180 days (50 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 13.9°, the pitch at which this aircraft's tail touches the runway with the wheels still on it, drawn from rotation to liftoff only: once the wheels leave, every foot climbed adds tail clearance.

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 0.3 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.

The approach to YPPH 03

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 70 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.

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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 68 ft, 18 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 17 ft. Touched down 312 m in, close to 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 880 fpm at the flare to 700 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.5° on the way down. Into the flare at 130 kt, on the 128 kt approach speed, and 129 kt at touchdown.

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. 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A319 departed from runway 11 at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport. Rotation occurred at 136 kt and the take-off roll used 1,602 m, about 80 % of the runway. Local weather was 22 °C with a wind 3 kt from 130°, giving a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 19 seconds, averaging 2,307 fpm and reaching 152 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 2,194 ft asl to 30,008 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 71 nm, beginning about 1 mile south of Boulder. Cruise level flight was held at 30,000 ft asl for 18 minutes, covering 122 nm, starting roughly 35 miles south of YEJI East Jaurdi Airport.

Descent began from 30,027 ft asl and proceeded to 1,423 ft asl in 27 minutes, covering 135 nm. The descent started 14 miles north-east of Corrigin and included brief level-offs at 18,000 ft asl and 3,000 ft asl. The final approach to runway 03 at YPPH Perth International Airport descended from 1,402 ft agl to 87 ft agl in 109 seconds.

Stabilisation checks were performed at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway and were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. At 2,280 ft agl the aircraft was in final flap position 5 and was flying 173 kt.

Landing on runway 03 occurred with a threshold height of 69 ft agl, which was above target, and a threshold speed of 130 kt, which was good. The flare was poor; the aircraft was flown onto the runway with little round-out. Touchdown was at 129 kt, slightly fast, and the vertical speed was very heavy at minus 705 fpm. Touchdown distance was good at 312 m, but the touchdown point was misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline. One bounce occurred on touchdown. Total landing distance was 1,277 m, 37 % of the 3,446 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The flight covered a total of 335 nm in 69 minutes and used 2,394 kg of fuel.
