Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.

What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 528 ft agl.

Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.

What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 649 m past the threshold, 192 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 137 kt, 7 kt above the 130 kt target, and lifted off at 148 kt 1.8 s later, the nose coming up at 2.4° a second. Climb 3 averaged 196 kt, 26 kt over its 170 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 867 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,785 m of runway left; gear up at 528 ft, 128 ft past the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,490 fpm on average to 867 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 2,843 m runway.

Rolled from 66 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 7.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.1 m left. Airborne 27 % 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 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 0.3 nm, about 140 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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 KSAV 10

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 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, 305 m 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 4× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 85 m off the centreline.

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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.0 nm, then fast to 0.3 nm (up to +17 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 flare95.00

The flare held the target profile well. The flare began at 53 ft agl above the runway, higher than this aircraft wants. Touchdown was 649 m past the threshold. Hold the aim point and let the runway come to you rather than anticipating the flare.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt tail · 0 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare high, at 53 ft, 58 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 649 m in, 344 m past the ideal 305 m.

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 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m 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 650 fpm at the flare to 230 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.4° on the way down.

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 A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at KSAV Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, a taxi of 21 minutes covering 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 28 with a takeoff distance of 790 m, which was 28 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 137 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 17 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 18 seconds, averaging 2,427 fpm and reaching 204 kt at the top. The climb continued from 976 ft asl to 32,772 ft asl in 10 minutes, covering 40 nm while remaining overhead KSAV.

Descent began from 32,464 ft asl to 5,123 ft asl in 8 minutes, covering 47 nm, starting 1 mile west of 9GA1 Briar Patch Airport. A subsequent climb from 5,192 ft asl to 5,770 ft asl took 2 minutes over 5 nm, starting 5 miles west of GA35 Cypress Lakes Airport.

A further descent from 5,740 ft asl to 1,412 ft asl lasted 2 minutes, covering 8 nm, starting 2 miles south-west of GA35 Cypress Lakes Airport.

Final approach to runway 10 at KSAV descended from 1,446 ft agl to 67 ft agl in 105 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 landing gear down at 1,859 ft agl, 260 kt; final flap position 5 at 1,416 ft agl, 130 kt.

Landing on runway 10 (runway length 2,842 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 kt. The flare began early and was described as great. Touchdown occurred 226 m beyond the touchdown zone at 109 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 227 fpm and very good runway alignment. One bounce was recorded on touchdown. Total landing distance was 1,351 m, 48 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The total flight covered 108 nm in 30 minutes and used 1,125 kg of fuel.
