Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 70 ft agl was well above target at 66 %, −1.40 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 9.41 m right at 77 %, −0.43 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, −0.33 points

Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Plan view the roll down the 3,951 m runway.

Rolled from 112 m in, drifted 2.3 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 5 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 46 % 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 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 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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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.

When the approach was stable

Not every check held at once 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 EDDF 25C

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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, 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 figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

Side view — the last 1,652 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 70 ft, 20 ft above the 50 ft target. Touched down 605 m in, 301 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 1,652 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.

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.

Touched down 5.4 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 8.2 m right at the widest. 17 kt across from the right, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 143 kt. Touched down with 7° of it still on, wings level.

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.

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

Departing from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Boeing 747-8 began its journey on runway 10L, taking off with a distance of 1,835 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 181 knots, overcoming a 5-knot crosswind and a calm headwind. The local temperature was 17 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind blowing at 5 knots from 179 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed out of the Chicago area, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,312 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The climb was a steady ascent from 1,686 feet above sea level, with a total increase of 34,625 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 36,312 feet for 392 minutes, covering a distance of 3,673 nautical miles. This long leg of the journey took the aircraft over the Midwest and into Europe, with a brief stopover in the level cruise phase near Battle Creek, Michigan, and later near Kleinkahl, Germany. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 35,690 feet to 4,113 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point 127 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 143 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -380 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,990 nautical miles, taking 471 minutes, and the aircraft used 68,344 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
