Departure Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, −0.67 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 69 %, −0.34 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 19 ft off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 238 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 350 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

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.

Lifted off at 163 kt with 4.5° 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.

Plan view the roll down the 11,316 ft runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 20 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 28 % 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 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.

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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +8 kt and +14 kt on the approach speed of 128 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

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

Wind 090° at 7 kt · 7 kt head · 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 122 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 28 s, an average deceleration of 0.18 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 42 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 2,207 ft in, 1,207 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 5,000 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 went from 570 fpm at 42 ft to 70 fpm at 6 ft, then back up to 350 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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 flight began with the Airbus A300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Miami International Airport, taking 23 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 3,271 feet, which was 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.

As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of 82°F temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 110°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Miami International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 914 feet above sea level to 34,493 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,579 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began 4 miles northwest of Andros Town Airport on Andros Island in the Bahamas and lasted for 126 minutes, covering a distance of 991 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 10 miles northwest of Chichiriviche in Venezuela, descending from 35,001 feet above sea level to 1,999 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,002 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise resumed 14 miles west of Catia La Mar in Venezuela and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10 at Simón Bolívar International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,317 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 10 at Simón Bolívar International Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 836 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 79°F temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 70°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 4,089 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,256 nautical miles, taking 194 minutes, and the aircraft used 32,680 pounds of fuel.
