Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 166 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 144 kt against a target of 166 kt, running 22 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 166 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

After the sink arrests at 21 ft, keep easing the yoke forward to let the aircraft continue settling rather than pausing above the runway.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 21 ft and the aircraft was held level there instead of being let down. Holding off high like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, and here the touchdown rate was 419 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuing descent through the flare all the way to touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 132 kt, on the 134 kt target, and lifted off at 144 kt 5.5 s later, the nose coming up at 1.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 144 kt, 22 kt under its 166 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 1,004 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 531 m of runway left; gear up at 68 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,500 fpm on average to 1,004 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 2,591 m runway.

Rolled from 69 m in, never more than 1.1 m off the centreline. Airborne 65 % 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.

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 0.8 to 0.3 nm, then not again: slow from 0.3 nm and left of the centreline from 0.3 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 KSAV 01

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 100 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 13× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then 12 m left of it from 0.3 nm to the threshold.

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 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.2 nm, then fast to 0.8 nm (up to +19 kt), then inside the band to 0.3 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −8 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 flare76.77

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare took the sink out 21 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 470 m past the threshold. Let it come lower before checking the descent - holding off high uses runway and leaves the touchdown to chance.

The crosswind

5 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 126 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 030° at 12 kt · 10 kt head · 5 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 114 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 26 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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 42 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 36 ft. Touched down 470 m in, 165 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 460 fpm at the flare to 200 fpm at 21 ft, then back up to 420 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.6° 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

The CRJ900 taxied from the parking area to runway 21R at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 21R. The aircraft used 1,680 m of runway, which was 65 % of the available length, and rotated at 132 kt. Local weather at departure was 24 °C with wind 8 kt from 199°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 38 seconds, averaging 1,380 fpm and reaching 144 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,679 ft asl to 35,984 ft asl in 23 minutes, covering 162 nm, beginning about 1 mile south of KDTW.

Cruise was level at 36,000 ft asl for 45 minutes, covering 355 nm, starting about 1 mile south of 43OA Anderson Airfield Waynesville.

Descent began from 36,012 ft asl to 1,399 ft asl in 31 minutes, covering 168 nm, with the descent start point 5 miles north of Woodville.

Final approach to runway 01 at KSAV Savannah Hilton Head International Airport descended from 1,403 ft agl to 66 ft agl in 107 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. Configuration on final was gear down at 1,893 ft agl and 188 kt; final flap position 3 was selected at 1,864 ft agl and 195 kt.

Landing on runway 01 was on a runway 2,133 m long with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 128 kt. The flare was described as good, although it started early. Touchdown occurred at 126 kt, a good speed, with a hard rate of -419 fpm. Touchdown distance was 470 m, judged good, and alignment on touchdown and rollout was perfect. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,294 m, representing 61 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered a total of 694 nm in 113 minutes and used 3,051 kg of fuel.
