Next time

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.

What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.

Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.

See Arrival Approach

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 136 kt, on the 134 kt target, and lifted off at 150 kt 2.1 s later, the nose coming up at 3.9° a second. Climb 3 averaged 185 kt, 13 kt under its 198 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 925 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,649 m of runway left; gear up at 52 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,860 fpm on average to 925 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.

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 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 0.7 nm, about 260 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.

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.

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 120 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.

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 flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 631 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 5° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 260° at 7 kt · 7 kt head · 1 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.

The stop

From 119 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.50 g.

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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 32 ft. Touched down 631 m in, 326 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.

The sink went from 480 fpm at the flare to 210 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° 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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 777F departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff was made using 749 m of runway, which is 20 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 136 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 14 °C, wind 6 kt from 260°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 16 seconds, averaging 2,649 fpm and reaching 185 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 997 ft asl to 1,529 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, remaining overhead the Auckland area.

Level flight was maintained at 1,500 ft asl for 4 minutes, covering 12 nm, beginning about 3 miles south of NZAA.

During final approach to runway 23L, descent was from 1,460 ft agl to 74 ft agl in 111 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed, and wings level; the check for centreline was not met.

Landing was on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 136 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 228 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 126 kt, which was good, with a touchdown rate of -212 fpm, rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and there was no bounce.

The total landing distance was 1,006 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was temperature 13 °C, wind 6 kt from 260°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.

The flight covered 21 nm in 8 minutes and used 63,678 kg of fuel.
