Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

Trim is the hidden variable. In trim, the flare is a small refinement to an aircraft already in equilibrium, a couple of millimetres of stick. Out of trim, you're holding a constant force all the way down final, and the flare becomes a large, badly judged movement stacked on top of a load you're already carrying. A striking proportion of "I can't judge the flare" complaints are trim complaints wearing a disguise. If you're holding pressure at 500 feet, fix that before you practise anything else.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 151 kt with 5.6° of pitch.

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 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 943 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,593 ft of runway left; then climbing at 2,330 fpm on average to 943 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 7,046 ft runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 14 ft right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 48 % 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 approach to KLGA 22

The final from 4 nm.

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 130 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, 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 4,530 ft left of the centreline, then inside the band from 2.2 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.

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

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 128 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 24 s, an average deceleration of 0.21 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 5,150 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 54 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,873 ft in, 873 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 5,150 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 820 fpm at 52 ft to 200 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.5° 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 22R at KBOS Logan International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 3,929 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft climbed to an altitude of 14,867 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,847 feet from the initial altitude of 1,021 feet. This climb took place over a distance of 24 nautical miles and lasted for 6 minutes. The enroute climb started overhead the MA17 Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 1 mile southwest of Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 2 miles southeast of Milford, Connecticut. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 14,933 feet to 5,492 feet, a decrease of 9,441 feet, over a distance of 18 nautical miles and lasted for 4 minutes.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Norwalk, Connecticut, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Pemberwick, Connecticut. This descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,493 feet to 718 feet, a decrease of 3,775 feet, over a distance of 16 nautical miles and lasted for 5 minutes.

The final approach to runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 214.0 degrees at an altitude of 697 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 506 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -199 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 0 knots at 46 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both zero knots. The total landing distance was 4,883 feet, which accounted for 70% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 164 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,810 pounds of fuel during the flight.
