What went well

Touched down at -201 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,284 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 30 ft and 156 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -201 fpm at 91 %, −0.12 points

Next time

Arrival

Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.

What happened: The touchdown rate was 201 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.

Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 201 fpm next time

See Arrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 156 kt, on the 154 kt target, and lifted off at 169 kt 3.7 s later, the nose coming up at 2.0° a second. Climb 3 averaged 186 kt, 7 kt under its 193 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 883 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 3,962 ft of runway left; gear up at 71 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,490 fpm on average to 883 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.

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 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 KPHX 25R

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 160 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 160 ft 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 38 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 23 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +3 kt and +6 kt on the approach speed of 153 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.

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 160 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 50 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 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 7,391 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 30 ft, 20 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 24 ft. Touched down 1,284 ft in, 284 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 7,391 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 480 fpm at the flare to 200 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° 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 MD-11 taxied from the parking area to runway 18C at KMEM Memphis International Airport, a taxi of 7 minutes covering 1 nm.

Takeoff was performed on runway 18C with a takeoff distance of 5,932 ft, which was 53 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 156 kt. The local weather at departure was temperature 87 °F, wind 2 kt from 360°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 2 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 19 seconds, averaging 2,452 fpm and reaching 186 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,280 ft asl to 35,394 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 90 nm, beginning 1 mile south of KMEM.

The aircraft levelled at 36,000 ft asl for 128 minutes, covering 903 nm, beginning 1 mile north-west of KBEE Schroeder’s Field Beebe.

Descent began from 35,997 ft asl to 2,268 ft asl in 23 minutes, covering 126 nm, starting 5 miles north of KSNO Snowflake Airport Snowflake.

Final approach to runway 25R at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport descended from 1,187 ft agl to 56 ft agl in 84 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 2,157 ft agl at 213 kt, and final flap position 6 at 1,366 ft agl at 169 kt.

Landing on runway 25R, which is 10,274 ft long, had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 157 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 1,283 ft down the runway at 152 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 201 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 7,150 ft, 70 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.

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

The flight covered a total of 1,129 nm in 177 minutes and used 46,741 lb of fuel.
