What went well

Touched down at -40 fpm — a soft arrival
1.03 G at touchdown — inside band
Airborne in 967 ft — 13 % of the runway

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 108 ft agl was excessively over target at 0 %, Flare profile at 0 %, −3.12 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Strobe Lights at 0 %, −2.33 points
Departure Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, peak speed in a turn 21 kt at 46 %, −2.10 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 61 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 86 kt, 25 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 61 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 31 ft.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 31 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 307 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through the normal flare band.

See Arrival Landing

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.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 86 kt with 0.5° 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.

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.

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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 1.0 nm, then not again: fast from 1.0 nm and left of the centreline 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.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 110 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.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then 100 ft left of it from 0.3 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 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.0 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +24 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 crosswind

6 kt across from the left, which takes about 6° of crab to hold the centreline at 62 kt. Touched down with the nose 11° into wind, wings level.

Wind 299° at 14 kt · 12 kt tail · 6 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 73 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 20 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 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.

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 6,212 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 520 fpm at 106 ft to 30 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 6.7° 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.

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 flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, taking 4 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C182, then departed from runway 33, with a takeoff distance of 1,517 feet, which was 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 69°F and a wind of 8 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,060 feet above sea level to 2,379 feet, an increase of 1,319 feet in 2 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile.

The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northwest of Hampton in Arden, lasting 146 minutes and covering 292 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles south of Dalfsen, Netherlands, descending from 3,570 feet to 2,899 feet, a decrease of 671 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles south of Ommen, Netherlands, lasting 16 minutes and covering 37 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles west of Langen, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 2,878 feet to 2,324 feet, a decrease of 554 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began again 1 mile south of Lengerich, Germany, lasting 19 minutes and covering 44 nautical miles. The descent started 3 miles southwest of Bahrenborstel, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 2,392 feet to 1,263 feet, a decrease of 1,129 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.

The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Uchte, Germany, with the aircraft ascending from 1,262 feet to 1,877 feet, an increase of 616 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile southwest of Stolzenau, Germany, lasting 10 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 09L at EDDV Hannover Airport began from the west, with the aircraft heading 92.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,367 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09L was made with a touchdown point 2,786 feet beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 62 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at -40 feet per minute.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 81°F and a wind of 12 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 5,829 feet, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 84 feet from the centreline.

The taxiing from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 419 nautical miles, taking 208 minutes, and the aircraft used -153 pounds of fuel.
