Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 22 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 5.7°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival 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 153 kt, 3 kt above the 150 kt target, and lifted off at 164 kt 2.8 s later, the nose coming up at 2.6° a second. Climb 3 averaged 178 kt, 14 kt over its 164 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 891 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,121 m of runway left; gear up at 25 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,720 fpm on average to 891 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.

Plan view the roll down the 2,952 m runway.

Rolled from 169 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 22 m at the widest, and lifted off 22 m left, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 51 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

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. 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 0.2 nm, then not again: low from 0.2 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° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 40 ft under).

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.

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.

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 flare70.11

The flare wandered off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 2.2° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 89 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

6 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 135 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 180° at 7 kt · 2 kt head · 6 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 135 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 s, an average deceleration of 0.35 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.

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 1,524 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 700 fpm at the flare to 470 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.2° 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 Airbus A320-ceo departed Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport (LFMN) from runway 04R. The take-off roll was 1,521 m, which is 52 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 153 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 16 °C, wind 6 kt from 330°, giving a 6 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 18 seconds, averaging 2,443 fpm and reaching 179 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 980 ft asl to 36,004 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 142 nm, with a brief level-off at 18,000 ft asl. Level flight was held at 36,000 ft asl for 30 minutes, covering 214 nm, beginning overhead Voreppe.

Descent began at 35,850 ft asl and proceeded to 1,461 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 152 nm, starting overhead Chalmaison. The final approach to runway 26 at Lille Airport (LFQQ) descended from 1,351 ft agl to 61 ft agl in 104 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. The aircraft was configured with landing gear down at 2,829 ft agl and 199 kt, and final flap position 5 at 1,740 ft agl and 151 kt.

Landing was made on runway 26, whose length is 2,541 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 137 kt. The flare was described as a fair landing flare with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 88 m from the threshold at a speed of 135 kt, which was a little fast, and a hard rate of -467 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 723 m, representing 28 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, taxiing to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 517 nm in 93 minutes and consumed 3,382 kg of fuel.
