Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 1,179 m at 0 %, −1.02 points

Next time

Arrival

Steepen the descent on final to rejoin the glideslope, aiming to cross the threshold at 50 ft.

What happened: The approach drifted above the glideslope, carrying the aircraft across the threshold at 186 ft against the 50 ft target. Crossing the threshold high like this usually carries the touchdown point long.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude against 50 ft on short final to confirm the glidepath is recaptured before the threshold.

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The nose came up at 144 kt, 6 kt before the 150 kt rotate speed, and rose at 1.9° a second, slower than the 2.0 to 3.0 other Airbus A320neo pilots fly.

The nose started up before the rotate speed and then came up slowly, as if easing it off early. Wait for the rotate speed, then make one steady pull at the normal rate for this aircraft.

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

Rolled from 52 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 6.3 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.1 m left, in 6 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 65 % 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 1,082 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 525 m of runway left; gear up at 386 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,260 fpm on average to 1,082 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 2.0 to 3.0° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320neo pilots over the last 180 days (154 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 11.7°, 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

Never every check met at once: high from 3.1 nm, right of the centreline from 1.9 nm and sinking too fast from 0.4 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.

Side view — the last 1,822 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 186 ft, 136 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 36 ft. Touched down 1,179 m in, 874 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 1,822 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.

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 A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 28. The aircraft used 1,624 m of runway, which is 65 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 141 kt. Local weather at departure was 8 °C with wind 7 kt from 030°, a 6 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 26 seconds, averaging 2,035 fpm and reaching 167 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 2,550 ft asl to 34,999 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 104 nm and beginning overhead Rumlang.

The aircraft level-flew at 35,000 ft asl for 65 minutes, covering 465 nm, with the segment starting 2 miles south-west of Moghegno.

Descent began at 34,868 ft asl and proceeded to 1,526 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 148 nm. The descent started 29 miles south-east of Villasimius and included a brief level-off at 3,000 ft asl.

On final approach to runway 29 at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,520 ft agl to 234 ft agl in 103 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on speed and wings level; they were not met for on glideslope and on centreline. The aircraft was in final flap position 4 at 2,299 ft agl with a speed of 166 kt.

Landing was made on runway 29, whose length is 2,644 m. The threshold height at 186 ft agl was excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 136 kt was good. The flare was described as great, with the pitch being pumped up and down during the flare. Touchdown occurred 754 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 121 kt, which was good, with a descent rate of minus 193 fpm, also good. Runway-touchdown alignment was very good and there was no bounce.

The total landing roll was 1,711 m, representing 65 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 20 °C with wind 6 kt from 300°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind component.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The flight covered a total distance of 726 nm in 120 minutes and used 4,003 kg of fuel.
