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.

Rolled from 246 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 10 ft at the widest, and lifted off 6 ft left, in 7 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 49 % 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 stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.4 nm and 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.

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 0.4 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +12 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

11 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 132 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, 3° of bank.

Wind 060° at 13 kt · 6 kt tail · 11 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 134 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 33 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 22 ft, 28 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,031 ft in, close to 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 5,000 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 stayed between 230 fpm and 370 fpm from 21 ft to the runway. The nose came up 1.1° 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.

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 a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A300, then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 5,203 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 76°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from Miami, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Miami Springs, Florida. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 144 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 998 feet above sea level to 34,489 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,492 feet.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 17 miles north west of Walkers Cay Airport in the Bahamas. This phase lasted for 91 minutes and covered a distance of 746 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Ocean City Municipal Airport in New Jersey. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,004 feet above sea level to 3,111 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,893 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 11 miles south east of the Long Island Static Carrier in New York. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Lido Beach in New York, which lasted for 1 minute and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) was made from the south east, heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,385 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31R, which had a length of 8,051 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 139 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 1,032 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -271 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 60°, with a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 3,945 feet, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 10 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,021 nautical miles, taking 152 minutes, and the aircraft used 26,623 pounds of fuel.
