Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 0.7°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.2 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.

What happened: The flare pitch reached 1.8°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 262 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.2 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 138 kt, 15 kt below the 153 kt target, and lifted off at 156 kt 7.4 s later, the nose coming up at 1.1° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 164 kt target, at 165 kt on average.

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 765 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,885 ft of runway left; gear up at 75 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,110 fpm on average to 765 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.

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 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 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 YPAD 23

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 40 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. 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 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 −1 kt and +4 kt on the approach speed of 138 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 flare mostly held the target profile. Pitch reached 6.4° at touchdown, well above this aircraft's ground attitude. Touchdown was 1,241 ft past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

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.

Side view — the last 5,562 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 50 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 16 ft. Touched down 1,241 ft in, 241 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 5,562 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 570 fpm at the flare to 260 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.8° 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 Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 32 at YBCG Gold Coast Airport, a taxi of 1 nm that took 11 minutes.

Take-off was on runway 32. The aircraft used 3,631 ft of runway, 54 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 138 kt. Local weather was 79 °F with a 19 kt wind from 330°, giving a 19 kt head-wind and 0 kt cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 20 seconds, averaging 1,937 fpm and reaching 170 kt at the top of the segment.

The climb continued from 884 ft asl to 34,000 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 95 nm and passing overhead Tugun.

Level cruise was held at 34,000 ft asl for 102 minutes, covering 676 nm, beginning 6 miles south of Drake.

Descent began at 34,025 ft asl and proceeded to 1,352 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 119 nm, starting 15 miles south-east of YLOX Loxton Airport.

Final approach to runway 23 at YPAD Adelaide International Airport started from 1,378 ft agl and descended to 79 ft agl in 103 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 1,864 ft agl with 164 kt, and landing flap 5 at 1,331 ft agl with 150 kt.

Landing was on runway 23, whose length is 10,171 ft. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 140 kt. The flare was described as very good, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred at 1,240 ft down the runway, at a speed of 139 kt, a little fast, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 262 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect. One bounce occurred on touchdown.

Total landing distance was 5,295 ft, 52 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at the airport was 45 °F.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 1 nm in 5 minutes.

The flight covered a total of 898 nm in 160 minutes and used 12,930 lb of fuel.
