Next time

Arrival

Add power on final to cross the threshold at 131 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 12 kt below the 131 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 1.9° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 131 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

You crossed the threshold slow. Without the speed there is little energy left to round out with, so the flare comes up short and the touchdown tends to be firm - and that feels exactly like flaring too late. Resist the fix that feels natural, flaring earlier: it bleeds off more speed and makes the next landing firmer still. Fly the approach speed all the way to the threshold, and the flare has something to work with.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 119 kt, 9 kt below the 128 kt target, and lifted off at 132 kt 2.6 s later, the nose coming up at 2.9° a second. Climb 3 averaged 156 kt, 8 kt under 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.

Reached 35 ft with 404 m of runway left; gear up at 15 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,380 fpm on average to 909 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.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.5 to 0.7 nm, then not again: slow from 0.7 nm and low from 0.2 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.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 40 ft under).

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 flare35.70

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.9° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 128 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 0 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 16 ft, 34 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 8 ft. Touched down 128 m in, 177 m short of 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 stayed between 480 fpm and 490 fpm from the flare to the runway. The nose came up 1.9° on the way down.

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 taxied to runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport and departed with a take-off distance of 2,353 m, which was 77 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 119 kt. Local weather at departure was 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, with no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 20 seconds, averaging 2,305 fpm and reaching 159 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 2,476 ft asl to 3,192 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-west of Neuhausen auf den Fildern. Level flight was maintained at 3,200 ft asl for 3 minutes, covering 9 nm, starting overhead Wolfschlugen.

During final approach to runway 07, the descent from 1,677 ft agl to 400 ft agl was completed in 90 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The aircraft was in final flap position 5 at 562 ft agl with a speed of 165 kt.

Landing was made on runway 07, whose length is 3,037 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 119 kt. The flare was very poor, with little round-out, and the aircraft touched down with a hard rate of minus 479 fpm. Touchdown occurred 128 m from the threshold at a speed of 117 kt, and the touchdown point was 4.5 m off the centreline. One bounce occurred after touchdown. Local weather at landing was 17 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, with no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind.

The total flight covered 18 nm in 5 minutes and used 220 kg of fuel.
