What went well

Touched down at -197 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,421 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 41 ft and 166 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Enroute Climb — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 92 %, −0.16 points

Next time

Monitor your speed

See Enroute Climb

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The pull started after the rotate speed had gone by. Bring the airspeed into the scan as it approaches the rotate speed, so the pull starts on the number rather than when you notice it has passed.

Plan view the roll down the 10,398 ft runway.

Rolled from 142 ft in, drifted 7 ft right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 61 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 909 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,471 ft of runway left; gear up at 60 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,030 fpm on average to 909 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 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 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at: a trace steeper than both is a faster rotation, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 9.5°, 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 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 KEWR 22L

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 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.

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.

Side view — the last 5,145 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 41 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 21 ft. Touched down 1,421 ft in, 421 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 5,145 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.

Plan view — the first 5,145 ft of the 8,209 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 7 ft left of the centreline, and stayed within 8 ft of it down the rollout. 7 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 163 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

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.

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.

Flight narrative

The MD-11 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at KOAK, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 30, using 6,365 ft of runway (61 % of the available length). Rotation occurred at 162 kt. Local weather at departure was 72 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 270°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 24 seconds, averaging 1,939 fpm and reaching 185 kt at the top of the segment.

Climb continued from 984 ft asl to 32,482 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 137 nm; the climb began about 1 mile west of KOAK.

The aircraft then levelled between 33,000 ft asl and 35,000 ft asl for 232 minutes, covering 1,986 nm, beginning 11 miles south-east of 73CA Bear Valley Airport.

Descent started from 34,995 ft asl and proceeded to 1,355 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 139 nm, with a brief level-off at 3,100 ft asl. The descent began 5 miles north-west of PA40 Benton Airport.

Final approach to runway 22L at KEWR began at 1,393 ft agl and descended to 73 ft agl in 84 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 2,627 ft agl at 194 kt, and final flap position 6 at 2,192 ft agl at 174 kt.

Landing was made on runway 22L, whose length is 8,209 ft. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 166 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 1,421 ft down the runway at 163 kt, a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 197 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 4,924 ft (60 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at KEWR was 60 °F with a wind of 7 kt from 299°, giving a 7 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.

After landing, the MD-11 taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered a total of 2,272 nm in 289 minutes and used 93,543 lb of fuel.
