Next time

Arrival

Adjust your approach path so you touch down at the 457 m aim point instead of beyond it.

What happened: Touchdown point came 135 m past the target, landing at 592 m against the 457 m aim point. Landings that touch down this far beyond the aim point typically leave less runway available for stopping.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

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.

Rotated late

The nose came up at 173 kt, 17 kt after the 156 kt rotate speed.

The pull started after the rotate speed had gone by. Bring the airspeed into the scan as it approaches the rotate speed, so the pull starts on the number rather than when you notice it has passed.

Plan view the roll down the 3,641 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 2.4 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 58 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 910 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,128 m of runway left; gear up at 159 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,200 fpm on average to 910 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 1.5 to 2.3° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A350-900 pilots over the last 180 days (59 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 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.

Every check met from 4 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.

The approach to LGAV 03R

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 60 ft below 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 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +1 kt and +4 kt on the approach speed of 137 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.

Side view — the last 1,662 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 40 ft, 95 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 31 ft, 19 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 592 m in, 287 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 1,662 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.

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 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.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 137 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 25 s, an average deceleration of 0.22 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-900 departed Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) from runway 25R. The take-off roll used 2,135 m, which was 59 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 173 kt. Local weather was 30 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 079°, a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 3 kt.

Initial climb reached 1,000 ft agl in 22 seconds, averaging 2,052 fpm and attaining 197 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,091 ft asl to 33,000 ft asl in 33 minutes, covering 237 nm, beginning 1 mile north-west of El Segundo. After a cruise at 33,000 ft asl for 147 minutes and 1,231 nm, starting 2 miles east of KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, the flight climbed from 33,000 ft asl to 34,994 ft asl in 3 minutes over 27 nm, starting 8 miles south-east of CYBV Berens River Airport. A long level segment between 35,000 ft asl and 39,000 ft asl lasted 534 minutes and covered 4,459 nm, beginning 4 miles south-west of CYGI Wrong Lake Airport. Descent from 38,642 ft asl to 1,569 ft asl took 22 minutes and 136 nm, starting 3 miles south-west of Farsala.

On final approach to runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV), descent from 1,332 ft agl to 62 ft agl was completed in 98 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. The landing gear was lowered at 4,162 ft agl at 194 kt; the final flap position 4 was selected at 4,037 ft agl at 175 kt.

Touchdown occurred on runway 03R, whose length is 3,697 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 140 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown point was 173 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 134 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 98 fpm, described as excellent. The touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,579 m, representing 43 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline.

Local weather at LGAV was 16 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 4 kt. After landing, taxiing to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 6,102 nm in 753 minutes and used 82,237 kg of fuel.
