What went well

Held the centreline on the roll in a 13 kn crosswind — 4.30 m off at liftoff
Touchdown 340 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.27 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -371 fpm at 60 %, −0.55 points
Arrival Taxi — peak speed in a turn 20 kt at 93 %, −0.18 points
Departure Roll — scored 99.09 %, −0.06 points

Next time

Arrival

In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.

What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 371 fpm, a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown

See Arrival 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.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 152 kt with 10.7° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 166 kt target, at 165 kt on average.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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 756 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,189 m of runway left; gear up at 141 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,440 fpm on average to 756 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 3,045 m runway.

Rolled from 115 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.6 m left, in 13 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 51 % 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 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 KXNA 34

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 10× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 37 m off the centreline.

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 −0 kt and +18 kt on the approach speed of 140 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.

Excellent landing flare

The crosswind

3 kt across from the left, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 138 kt. Touched down with the nose 2° into wind, wings level.

Wind 310° at 8 kt · 7 kt head · 3 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 134 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 54 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 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.

Began the flare at 36 ft, 3 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 35 ft, 15 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 340 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 670 fpm at the flare to 370 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.7° 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.

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

Departing from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the CRJ900 began its journey on runway 30L, taking 9 minutes to taxi to the runway and covering 3 nautical miles. With a local temperature of 21 °C and a wind of 21 kt at 260°, the aircraft took off with a liftoff speed of 152 kt, utilizing 52% of the 1,568-meter runway. The initial climb phase started 1 mile east of Richfield, Minnesota, where the aircraft ascended from 1,624 feet above sea level to 36,008 feet, a vertical increase of 34,385 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 180 nautical miles.

The enroute climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the first starting 3 miles northwest of Scranton, Iowa, lasting 5 minutes and covering 166 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile west of Kansas City International Airport, decreasing from 36,000 feet to 35,005 feet in 2 minutes and covering 26 nautical miles. The descent phase was punctuated by several level cruises, including a 2-minute cruise at 63K Hillside Airport, Stilwell, Kansas, covering 40 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 5 miles northeast of Hume, Missouri, where the aircraft descended from 35,004 feet to 3,144 feet in 11 minutes and covering 125 nautical miles.

The CRJ900 then began its final approach to runway 34 at Northwest Arkansas National Airport, heading 338.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 2,685-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 344 meters and a touchdown speed of 138 kt, slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,136 meters, utilizing 42% of the runway. After a 2-minute taxi to the parking area, covering 1 nautical mile, the CRJ900 completed its journey, having traveled 555 nautical miles and consumed 2,522 kilograms of fuel in 47 minutes.
