What went well

Touched down at -82 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 918 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 26 ft and 85 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.95 points
Arrival Taxi — Landing Lights at 1 %, −0.33 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on approach to bring speed back to 87 kt by the gate.

What happened: The aircraft was too fast at the stabilisation gate, 48 kt above the target of 87 kt.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 87 kt at the gate

See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 4.5° and 16.8°, and the speed between 99 kt and 127 kt.

Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.

Plan view the roll down the 7,173 ft runway.

Rolled from 615 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 12 ft at the widest, and lifted off 8 ft left. Airborne 25 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 1,244 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 4,720 ft of runway left; gear up at 54 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,670 fpm on average to 1,244 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 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.

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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: speed more than 44 kt above the approach speed of 87 kt.

At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 26 kt above the approach speed of 87 kt.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.2 nm, about 460 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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 2° 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 44 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 26 at 500 ft and 10 at 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 36 ft, 115 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 26 ft, 24 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 918 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 went from 750 fpm at the flare to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.2° on the way down. Into the flare at 87 kt, on the 87 kt approach speed, and 74 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.

Touched down 15 ft left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 16 ft left at the widest. Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, 2.2° of bank.

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.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 74 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 s, an average deceleration of 0.16 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 flight began with a taxi from the parking area to runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 01 with a distance of 1,837 ft, representing 26 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 92 kt. The local weather at departure was temperature 49 °F, wind 16 kt from 360°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 16 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 41 seconds, averaging 1,160 fpm and reaching 127 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 795 ft asl to 30,002 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 68 nm while passing overhead RB16 Washington Potomac Washington.

Cruise level at 30,000 ft asl was maintained for 42 minutes, covering 212 nm, beginning 4 miles south-east of VA58 River Bend Airport Maurertown.

Descent from 29,992 ft asl to 2,278 ft asl lasted 23 minutes and covered 99 nm, starting 6 miles south-west of Wurtland, with a brief level-off at 8,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 36R at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport began with a descent from 1,430 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 119 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration was gear down at 3,210 ft agl and 158 kt; final flap position 2 was selected at 635 ft agl and 136 kt.

Landing on runway 36R, which is 9,991 ft long, occurred with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 86 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown was recorded at 918 ft down the runway, at a speed of 74 kt and a rate of -82 fpm, both noted as good. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline, with no bounce observed.

Total landing distance was 2,265 ft, representing 23 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, taxi to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 386 nm in 100 minutes and consumed 689 lb of fuel.
