Next time

Arrival

Fly a slightly steeper approach path to cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 63 ft agl.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 63 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 1,033 m against a 457 m 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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 161 kt, on the 161 kt target, and lifted off at 169 kt 2.5 s later, the nose coming up at 1.5° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 175 kt target, at 175 kt on average.

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 820 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,283 m of runway left; gear up at 153 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,130 fpm on average to 820 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.

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: left of the centreline 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.

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 50 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.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then 15 m left of it from 0.4 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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +2 kt and +5 kt on the approach speed of 138 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 flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 1,033 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 252° at 1 kt · 1 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.

The stop

From 138 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 28 s, an average deceleration of 0.20 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 2,423 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 63 ft, 13 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 28 ft. Touched down 1,033 m in, 728 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 2,423 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 420 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.2° 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area for 11 minutes, covering 4 nm, and entered the departure roll on runway 16L at KSEA Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Takeoff was achieved after a distance of 1,964 m (54 % of runway) with rotation at 161 kt. Local weather was 11 °C, wind 2 kt from 010°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 2 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 20 seconds, averaging 2,036 fpm and reaching 175 kt at the top. The climb continued from 1,258 ft asl to 32,998 ft asl in 28 minutes, covering 185 nm, beginning 1 mile south-west of SeaTac. Level flight at 33,000 ft asl lasted 159 minutes and covered 1,345 nm, starting 7 miles north-west of CYDC Princeton Airport. A climb from 33,004 ft asl to 34,997 ft asl took 3 minutes over 27 nm, starting at latitude 64.9271941, longitude -89.3267869. Level flight at 35,000 ft asl continued for 190 minutes, covering 1,650 nm, beginning 97 miles south-west of CYUT Naujaat Airport. A further climb from 35,000 ft asl to 36,906 ft asl lasted 3 minutes over 29 nm, starting 7 miles north-east of Olafsfjoerdur. Level flight between 37,000 ft asl and 39,000 ft asl persisted for 325 minutes, covering 2,714 nm, beginning 3 miles south of Nordurthing.

Descent from 38,761 ft asl to 1,804 ft asl took 22 minutes, covering 128 nm, starting 32 miles north-east of Rosetta. The final approach to runway 05R at HECA Cairo International Airport began with a descent from 1,508 ft agl to 204 ft agl in 93 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration was gear down at 3,749 ft agl at 181 kt and final flap position 4 at 3,635 ft agl at 171 kt.

Landing on runway 05R (length 4,000 m) had a threshold height of 63 ft agl, which was above target, while the threshold speed of 142 kt was good. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 617 m beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt, with a rate of -98 fpm, and was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline. Local weather was 24 °C, wind 1 kt from 113°, crosswind 1 kt, headwind 0 kt. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 2,345 m (59 % of runway) and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 6 minutes, covering 3 nm. The entire flight covered 6,092 nm in 748 minutes and used 81,979 kg of fuel.
