What went well

Rollout held the centreline in a 14 kn crosswind — 2.8 ft off at taxi speed
Touched down at -245 fpm — a soft arrival
Flare on profile — 100 %

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 3,065 ft at 0 %, −1.00 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 61 ft agl was above target at 87 %, −0.22 points

Next time

Arrival

Fly a slightly steeper approach path to cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 61 ft agl.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 61 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, above the normal profile. This fault pattern is often followed by a long touchdown beyond the target point, and here the aircraft touched down at 3,065 ft against a 1,500 ft target.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Plan view the roll down the 11,976 ft runway.

Rolled from 153 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 21 ft at the widest, and lifted off 21 ft left, in 9 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 58 % 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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. 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 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 grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The rotation detail below draws the rotation against the rates for this aircraft and its tail-strike pitch, where the slope reads properly. 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.

Rotation detail the pitch over the seconds from rotation to 35 ft, where the slope reads properly.

How to read this

The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 35 ft, stretched so the slope reads properly. The green dot is where the nose started up, the grey band runs to the wheels leaving, and the figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up. The two dashed green lines rising from the rotation point are 2.1 to 4.2° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Boeing 737-800 pilots over the last 180 days (157 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11°, the pitch at which this aircraft's tail touches the runway with the wheels still on it, drawn from rotation to liftoff only: once the wheels leave, every foot climbed adds tail clearance.

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: fast 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.

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.

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 7,678 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 60 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 31 ft. Touched down 3,065 ft in, 2,065 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 7,678 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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-800 departed KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 08. The take-off roll used 7,029 ft, 59 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather was 43 °F with wind 11 kt from 190°, a 10 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 21 seconds, averaging 2,161 fpm and reaching 164 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 6,446 ft asl to 35,328 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 105 nm, beginning the climb 3 nm east of KDEN.

Cruise was level between 36,000 ft asl and 38,000 ft asl for 115 minutes, covering 774 nm, with the segment starting 7 nm south of WY63 Ray’s Airpark, Laramie.

Descent began at 37,685 ft asl and proceeded to 1,287 ft asl in 28 minutes, covering 128 nm, starting 7 nm south-west of 6S9 Stehekin State Airport.

On final approach to runway 08L at CYVR Vancouver International Airport, descent from 1,313 ft agl to 95 ft agl took 95 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,785 ft agl, 172 kt; final flap position 7 at 1,304 ft agl, 154 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 08L, whose length is 9,912 ft. The threshold height at 61 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed of 155 kt was slightly above target. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown was 1,688 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at 143 kt, a little fast, with a fair rate of -245 fpm. The touchdown point was 16 ft off the centreline, and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 7,234 ft, 73 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline.

Local weather at CYVR was 52 °F with wind 21 kt from 160°, an 18 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind. After landing, taxiing to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 1,018 nm in 180 minutes and used 13,909 lb of fuel.
