Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 115 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 96 kt, 19 kt before the 115 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 115 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 112 kt over the threshold, so the approach is not slow to begin with.

What happened: Threshold speed was 9 kt below target, and the nose was then held well above this type's ground attitude at touchdown; arriving slow like this usually leaves the flare short of energy and ends in a firm touchdown at 401 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 112 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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 96 kt, 19 kt below the 115 kt target, and lifted off at 132 kt 9.9 s later, the nose coming up at 0.9° a second. Climb 3 averaged 165 kt, 7 kt over its 158 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 1,428 m of runway left; gear up at 70 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,830 fpm on average to 938 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

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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed more than 28 kt above the approach speed of 112 kt.

At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed and speed more than 17 kt above the approach speed of 112 kt.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.7 nm, about 300 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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 final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

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 4× larger than distances along the final.

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 28 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 0.7 nm (up to +75 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.

The flare79.04

The flare wandered off the target profile. Pitch reached 6.9° at touchdown, well above this type's ground attitude. Touchdown was 129 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

4 kt across from the left, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 100 kt. Touched down with the nose 3° into wind, wings level.

Wind 165° at 7 kt · 5 kt head · 4 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 22 ft, 28 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 19 ft. Touched down 129 m in, 176 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 went from 600 fpm at the flare to 400 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.6° on the way down.

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.

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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport (CYQB), the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 24, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle headwind of 9 kt at 234°. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 132 kt, utilizing 40% of the available runway length of 1,103 m.

As the RJ85 climbed away from CYQB, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,230 ft to 29,692 ft in a mere 19 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nm. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 29,692 ft for 31 minutes as it traversed 198 nm. The crew initiated a descent from 30,014 ft to 5,997 ft over Palenville, New York, a decrease of 24,017 ft in 16 minutes, covering 89 nm. Following a brief level cruise over Basking Ridge, New Jersey, the RJ85 began its final descent, touching down on runway 22L at Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) with a touchdown speed of 100 kt and a touchdown distance of 130 m. The total landing distance was 829 m, utilizing 33% of the available runway length of 2,502 m.

The RJ85's performance during the approach and landing phases was satisfactory, with a firm touchdown rate of -335 fpm and a runway touchdown position that was slightly misaligned by 6.5 m from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 446 nm, and the RJ85 utilized 2,899 kg of fuel during the 90-minute journey.
