Arrival

Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.

What happened: Touchdown drifted 8.3 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 55 m.

Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival TouchdownArrival Rollout

Trim is the hidden variable. In trim, the flare is a small refinement to an aircraft already in equilibrium, a couple of millimetres of stick. Out of trim, you're holding a constant force all the way down final, and the flare becomes a large, badly judged movement stacked on top of a load you're already carrying. A striking proportion of "I can't judge the flare" complaints are trim complaints wearing a disguise. If you're holding pressure at 500 feet, fix that before you practise anything else.

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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,421 m of runway left; gear up at 57 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,990 fpm on average to 902 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 red dashed line is 11.6°, 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 1.2 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.

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 20× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 3.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.3 nm, then 19 m left of it from 0.3 nm to the threshold.

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 from 3.9 nm, where the final began, to 1.5 nm, then slow to 1.2 nm (up to −6 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 3,291 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 64 ft, 14 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 3 ft. Touched down 831 m in, 526 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 3,291 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 580 fpm and 620 fpm from the flare to the runway. The pitch barely changed. Into the flare at 134 kt, 6 kt under the 140 kt approach speed, and 135 kt at touchdown.

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.

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 Boeing 757-200 taxied from the parking area to runway 27L at EGLL, a movement that lasted 16 minutes and covered 6 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 27L with a take-off roll of 1,907 m, using 52 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 154 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, giving a headwind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 1,863 fpm and reaching 186 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,082 ft asl to 35,004 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 129 nm; the climb began 1 mile south-east of Colnbrook and included a brief level-off at 31,000 ft asl.

Cruise was level at 35,000 ft asl for 55 minutes, covering 416 nm, beginning 1 mile west of Lindebeuf.

Descent from 35,008 ft asl to 4,399 ft asl lasted 23 minutes and covered 133 nm, starting 3 miles south-east of Berguen, with brief level-offs at 21,000 ft asl and 10,000 ft asl.

A further level segment at 4,100 ft asl lasted 6 minutes over 20 nm, beginning overhead Rovigo.

The next descent from 4,012 ft asl to 1,565 ft asl took 3 minutes and covered 10 nm, starting 1 mile east of Corte.

Final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ began with a descent from 1,562 ft agl to 323 ft agl in 97 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 2,187 ft agl at 186 kt; the final flap position 6 was selected at 1,401 ft agl at 158 kt.

Landing on runway 04R (length 3,291 m) had a threshold height of 64 ft agl, which was above target, while the threshold speed of 137 kt was good. The flare was very poor, starting late. Touchdown occurred 423 m beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt, with a very hard rate of minus 580 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.3 m from the centreline. No bounce was observed.

The total landing roll was 3,966 m, representing 121 % of the runway, and the rollout was excessively misaligned by 55.2 m from the centreline. Local weather at LIPZ was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.

Overall, the flight covered 722 nm in 123 minutes and consumed 7,093 kg of fuel.
