Arrival

Use aileron to level the wings and hold the upwind wing low only enough to track the centreline before touchdown.

What happened: At touchdown the wings were not level, with an average bank angle of 4.6°.

Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and keep wings level through touchdown.

See Arrival Touchdown

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 9.9° and 17.8°, and the speed between 164 kt and 171 kt.

Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.

Plan view the roll down the 9,984 ft runway.

Rolled from 164 ft in, drifted 15 ft right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 56 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 997 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 3,415 ft of runway left; gear up at 247 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,430 fpm on average to 997 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 2.4 to 5.0° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Boeing 737-900ER pilots over the last 180 days (52 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 10°, 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 2.4 to 0.9 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.9 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.

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, 1,000 ft 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.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 30 ft. Touched down 1,357 ft in, 357 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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.

Touched down 9 ft right of the centreline and drifted to 23 ft right on the rollout, back to 7 ft right by the end. 7 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 145 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, 4.6° of bank.

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.

From 137 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 s, an average deceleration of 0.28 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.

Cruise continued at 37,100 ft asl for 13 minutes, covering 103 nm, beginning 6 miles south-east of TN87 Montvale Airpark, Maryville.

A descent from 37,781 ft asl to 36,612 ft asl lasted 3 minutes over 26 nm, starting 3 miles south of Whitesburg, with a brief level-off at 35,800 ft asl.

The flight then levelled at 37,000 ft asl for 78 minutes, covering 622 nm, beginning 1 mile north-east of Clinchco.

A further descent from 37,000 ft asl to 1,502 ft asl took 32 minutes and covered 166 nm, starting 4 miles south of Hebron.

Final approach to runway 33 at KBGR began with a descent from 1,384 ft agl to 36 ft agl in 104 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was gear down at 1,920 ft agl at 176 kt and final flap position 8 at 1,985 ft agl at 166 kt.

Landing on runway 33 was on a good threshold with a threshold speed of 148 kt, slightly above target. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred at 145 kt, a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 153 fpm. Touchdown distance was 1,357 ft, and alignment was very good. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 3,994 ft, 35 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at KBGR was 44 °F with wind 11 kt from 001°, giving an 8 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The entire flight covered 1,051 nm in 163 minutes and used 14,270 lb of fuel.
