Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 164 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 36 kt fast at 200 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 164 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 120 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 136 kt, 16 kt above 120 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 120 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival 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.

Plan view the roll down the 3,284 m runway.

Rolled from 2,124 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.5 m left. Airborne 79 % of the way down the runway, past 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 935 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 426 m of runway left; gear up at 5 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 3,100 fpm on average to 935 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.

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 2.1 to 2.9° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320ceo pilots over the last 180 days (229 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

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.

At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off and speed more than 18 kt above the approach speed of 120 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way, banked until 3.1 nm and left of the centreline until 1.1 nm.

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 NZAA 05R

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 160 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.

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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to the threshold (up to +58 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.

The flare wandered off the target profile

Crossing the threshold 17 kt above target, the flare ballooned 10 ft agl back up from 15 ft agl above the runway, 628 m in. Touchdown was 821 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - that excess speed is what turns a normal flare into a balloon, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

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

Crossed the threshold at 61 ft, 11 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 24 ft; ballooned 10 ft from 15 ft. Touched down 821 m in, 516 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 280 fpm before coming down at 700 fpm to touch. The nose came up 2.5° on the way down. Into the flare at 137 kt, 17 kt over the 120 kt approach speed, and 122 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 Airbus A320-ceo departed from runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Take-off used 2,556 m of runway (78 % of runway) and rotation occurred at 156 kt. The local weather was 36 °C with wind 3 kt from 001°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 16 seconds, averaging 3,108 fpm and reaching 205 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft entered a right-hand circuit in under a minute and completed the circuit in 5 minutes. The downwind leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 4 seconds at 1,460 ft agl; the base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 13 seconds.

Climb continued from 1,029 ft asl to 1,618 ft asl in 1 minute, covering 3 nm while starting 1 mile east of the airport. Level flight was held at 1,600 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 14 nm, beginning 1 mile west of Takanini. Descent from 1,614 ft asl to 1,202 ft asl took 2 minutes over 8 nm, starting 7 miles north of Waiuku.

On final approach to runway 05R the aircraft descended from 1,432 ft agl to 81 ft agl in 87 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, and wings level; they were not met for centreline and speed. Configuration on final was landing gear up at 516 ft agl with 180 kt, and final flap position 5 at 746 ft agl with 177 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 05R (runway length 3,284 m). The threshold height at 61 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed of 137 kt was well above target. The flare was described as a fair landing flare, with the aircraft ballooning in the flare. Touchdown was 393 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 122 kt, a little fast, with a heavy rate of -696 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 10.0 m from the centreline. One bounce occurred on touchdown. Runway rollout alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 1,425 m (43 % of runway).

The local weather at landing was 34 °C with wind 3 kt from 001°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. The total flight covered 51 nm, lasted 16 minutes and used 559 kg of fuel.
