Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 11 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.

What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 4.5° on short final.

Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.

On a 3° glideslope your sink rate in feet per minute is roughly your groundspeed in knots times five (5.3, strictly). A Cessna 172 at 65 kt groundspeed is coming down at about 345 fpm. An A320 at 140 kt groundspeed is coming down at about 740 fpm. the entire job of the flare is to take that 350 to 750 fpm and reduce it to something in the normal band, in roughly the last five seconds of the flight.

The flare took all the sink out 23 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft settled on from there, 593 fpm of sink coming back, having crossed the threshold below target speed. Touchdown was 425 m past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.

Rotated late, and quickly

The nose came up at 148 kt, 11 kt after the 137 kt rotate speed, and rose at 5.6° a second, faster than the 2 to 3 airliners use.

The pull started late and then came quickly, as if to make up the time. Start it on the rotate speed instead, so there is nothing to catch up, and keep it to the normal rate for this aircraft.

Plan view the roll down the 2,486 m runway.

Rolled from 131 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 11 m at the widest, and lifted off 9 m left. Airborne 54 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 893 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 890 m of runway left; gear up at 145 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,810 fpm on average to 893 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

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 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at: a trace steeper than both is a faster rotation, one shallower than both a slower one.

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.

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.

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 flare wandered off the target profile

The flare took all the sink out 23 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft settled on from there, 593 fpm of sink coming back, having crossed the threshold below target speed. Touchdown was 425 m past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.

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

Began the flare at 37 ft, 7 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 34 ft, 16 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 425 m in, 120 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.

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.

Touched down 10 m right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 11 m right at the widest. Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, 5.1° of bank.

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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport, a 5-minute taxi covering 1 nm.

Take-off was on runway 28. The aircraft used 1,349 m of runway (54 % of the available length). Rotation occurred at 148 kt. Local weather was 10 °C with wind 2 kt from 216°, giving a 1 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 2,730 fpm and reaching 146 kt at the top of the climb.

The climb continued from 2,371 ft asl to 34,652 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 122 nm. The climb started overhead Rumlang and included a brief level-off at 3,400 ft asl.

Cruise was level at 35,000 ft asl for 35 minutes, covering 275 nm, beginning 1 mile south of Kaunertal.

Descent began from 35,000 ft asl to 1,820 ft asl in 25 minutes, covering 141 nm. The descent started 1 mile south of Biograd na Moru and included a brief level-off at 8,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 11 at LDDU Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport descended from 1,408 ft agl to 89 ft agl in 118 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. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,569 ft agl, 182 kt; final flap position 5 at 1,732 ft agl, 153 kt.

Landing on runway 11 was on a good threshold with a threshold speed of 122 kt. The flare was described as good; the aircraft ran out of speed in the flare. Touchdown occurred at 425 m down the runway, at 114 kt, with a fair rate of -287 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 10.7 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 771 m (25 % of the 3,139 m runway). Runway rollout was slightly misaligned by 9.3 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 12 °C with wind 4 kt from 080°, giving a 3 kt headwind and 2 kt crosswind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a 5-minute taxi covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 545 nm in 91 minutes and used 2,780 kg of fuel.
