Arrival

Continue arresting the sink throughout the flare so it does not return before the mains touch.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink to 7.4 ft, then 194 fpm returned before the mains touched, giving a touchdown rate of 215 fpm. Sink that returns after an early arrest usually produces a firmer touchdown than the flare alone would suggest.

Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 215 fpm next time

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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 150 kt, 7 kt above the 143 kt target, and lifted off at 158 kt 2.7 s later, the nose coming up at 2.7° a second. Climb 3 averaged 167 kt, 12 kt under its 179 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 895 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,723 ft of runway left; gear up at 236 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,970 fpm on average to 895 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 8,454 ft runway.

Rolled from 136 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 14 ft at the widest, and lifted off 13 ft left. Airborne 66 % 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 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 0.4 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 KDAL 13L

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 30 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, 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 20× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then 50 ft right of it from 0.4 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 35 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 +5 kt and +7 kt on the approach speed of 140 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 flare98.67

Excellent landing flare. It lost 1.3 points, for the nose going up and down 2 times.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 123° at 7 kt · 6 kt head · 1 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 139 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 18 s, an average deceleration of 0.34 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 36 ft, 14 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 25 ft. Touched down 1,820 ft in, 820 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.

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

The sink went from 530 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.5° 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.

Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 5 ft of it down the rollout.

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-800 departed KSJC Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport on runway 30L. The take-off roll was 5,621 ft, using 66 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 150 kt. Local weather was 70 °F with a 5 kt wind from 312°, giving a 5 kt headwind and no cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 24 seconds, averaging 1,859 fpm and reaching 173 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 989 ft asl to 35,009 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 118 nm, with a brief level-off at 5,000 ft asl. Level cruise was maintained at 35,000 ft asl for 140 minutes, covering 1,088 nm.

Descent began from 35,001 ft asl to 1,747 ft asl in 33 minutes, covering 175 nm, with a brief level-off at 11,000 ft asl. The final approach to runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field started from 1,323 ft agl and descended to 47 ft agl in 106 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. The aircraft was in final flap position 3 at 3,339 ft agl with a speed of 204 kt.

Landing on runway 13L, which is 7,351 ft long, occurred with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown was 407 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 142 kt, noted as a little fast, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 216 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and rollout was perfect, and no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 3,864 ft, 53 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

After landing, taxiing to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 1,389 nm in 205 minutes and used 18,235 lb of fuel.
