What went well

Touched down at -201 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 35 ft and 130 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 3.27 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 672 m at 77 %, −0.23 points

Next time

Arrival

Adjust your approach path so you touch down at the 457 m aim point instead of beyond it.

What happened: Touchdown point came 215 m past the target, landing at 672 m against the 457 m aim point. Landings that touch down this far beyond the aim point typically leave less runway available for stopping.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

Rotated at 144 kt against the 142 kt rotate speed, the nose rising at 4.2° a second, then held 16.2° from 35 ft, within 2.5° top to bottom.

Rotated on speed at a steady rate, and the climb attitude held. This is the takeoff to repeat: the same speed check, the same pull, the same attitude.

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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,200 m of runway left; gear up at 5 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,950 fpm on average to 881 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 2.1 to 4.2° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Boeing 737-800 pilots over the last 180 days (157 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11°, 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 2.9 to 0.4 nm, then not again: right 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.

Profile height against the 3.2° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 30 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, 305 m past the threshold: 3.2° here, which is about 340 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 21× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then 14 m right 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 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 2.9 nm (up to +52 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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.

Side view — the last 1,532 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 35 ft, 15 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 36 ft. Touched down 672 m in, 367 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 1,532 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.

The sink went from 480 fpm at the flare to 200 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.7° on the way down. Into the flare at 131 kt, 4 kt over the 127 kt approach speed, and 121 kt at touchdown.

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.

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 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.

From 141 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 25 s, an average deceleration of 0.24 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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-800 departed KSAT San Antonio International Airport on runway 04. The take-off roll was 1,140 m, 44 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 144 kt. Local weather was 19 °C with an 8 kt wind from 035°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 15 seconds, averaging 2,699 fpm and reaching 181 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,727 ft asl to 40,538 ft asl in 43 minutes, covering 327 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-east of KSAT. Level cruise was flown at 41,000 ft asl for 221 minutes, covering 1,701 nm, starting from latitude 25.1629972, longitude -95.1965772.

Descent began from 40,999 ft asl to 9,324 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 137 nm, starting 25 miles north-west of Valdez. The final approach to runway 36 at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport descended from 1,548 ft agl to 190 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 was landing gear down at 1,899 ft agl, 300 kt; final flap position 8 was selected at 813 ft agl, 185 kt.

Landing on runway 36 was on a good threshold with a threshold speed of 131 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 255 m beyond the touchdown zone at 121 kt, with a fair rate of -201 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 3.4 m. Local weather was 15 °C with a 2 kt wind from 190°, 0 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,448 m, 35 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 2,172 nm in 289 minutes and used 11,653 kg of fuel.
