Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.

What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 653 m against the 457 m aim point.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 138 kt, 6 kt below the 144 kt target, and lifted off at 154 kt 4.4 s later, the nose coming up at 2.1° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 179 kt target, at 176 kt on average.

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 913 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,025 m of runway left; gear up at 125 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,700 fpm on average to 913 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.

Plan view the roll down the 3,595 m runway.

Rolled from 161 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 5.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 5.8 m left. Airborne 34 % 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.

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 EDDL 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 50 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 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −2 kt and +12 kt on the approach speed of 144 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 flare91.44

The flare held the target profile well. The flare began at 11 ft agl above the runway, lower than this aircraft wants. Touchdown was 653 m past the threshold. Begin raising the nose earlier - a late flare leaves no time to arrest the sink.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 090° at 5 kt · 4 kt head · 2 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 131 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 35 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 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 1,869 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 42 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 11 ft; ballooned 3 ft from 1 ft. Touched down 653 m in, 349 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 1,869 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 170 fpm before coming down at 250 fpm to touch. The nose came up 1.7° on the way down.

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

The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 34 at LOWW Vienna International Airport, a taxi of 20 minutes covering 4 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 34 with a distance of 1,227 m, which was 34 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 138 kt. Local weather at departure was 10 °C, wind 17 kt from 339°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 17 kt head-wind component.

The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 17 seconds, averaging 2,434 fpm and reaching 176 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,612 ft asl to 33,997 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 110 nm while remaining overhead Vienna.

Cruise was maintained at 34,000 ft asl for 28 minutes, covering 212 nm, with the aircraft over Dolni Bukovsko.

Descent began from 33,997 ft asl to 1,473 ft asl in 31 minutes, covering 168 nm, starting 2 mi north-west of Burghaun and including a brief level-off at 3,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport descended from 1,377 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 105 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 aircraft was in final flap position 7 at 1,733 ft agl with a speed of 162 kt.

Landing on runway 05R, which is 2,695 m long, occurred with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 kt. The flare was described as great but started late. Touchdown was 231 m beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt, a speed judged good. The vertical rate at touchdown was -249 fpm, assessed as fair. The touchdown point was 6.1 m off the centreline, a slight misalignment. Local weather at landing was 9 °C, wind 4 kt from 090°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component. No bounce occurred.

The total landing roll was 1,779 m, representing 66 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 13 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 500 nm in 107 minutes and used 3,937 kg of fuel.
