What went well

Touchdown 407 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.63 m off the centreline, no bounce
Rollout held the centreline — 1.02 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Firm touchdown — 586 fpm, −2.35 points across the landing and the touchdown
  • Arrival Touchdown · sink rate 586 fpm−1.32
  • Arrival Landing · flare: the descent was not taken out−0.96
  • Arrival Touchdown · 1.55 G at contact−0.07
Arrival Approach — landing lights off should be on; 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −1.19 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was too high at 178 kt at 63 %, −0.98 points

Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 151 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 145 kt rather than carrying excess speed.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 178 kt, 33 kt above the 145 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 1.8° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 145 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 156 kt, 5 kt above the 151 kt target, and lifted off at 161 kt 2.2 s later, the nose coming up at 5.1° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 184 kt target, at 185 kt on average.

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 933 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,006 m of runway left; gear up at 198 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,080 fpm on average to 933 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.

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

Never every check met at once: fast all the way and no landing flap until 3.3 nm.

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.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 30 ft above 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° 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 13 m 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.

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 flare53.79

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.8° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 407 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

3 kt across from the right, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 171 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 080° at 9 kt · 8 kt head · 3 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 167 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 49 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 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.

Crossed the threshold at 59 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 12 ft. Touched down 407 m in, 102 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 2,137 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 710 fpm at the flare to 580 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.6° 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 BBS752RR B752 departed from runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport. The take-off roll used 1,672 m, 57 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 156 kt. Local weather was 16 °C with a wind 12 kt from 070°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind and an 11 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 24 seconds, averaging 1,857 fpm and reaching 188 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,204 ft asl to 28,700 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 95 nm, with a brief level-off at 5,900 ft asl. Level cruise was held at 29,100 ft asl for 69 minutes, covering 515 nm.

Descent began at 28,896 ft asl and proceeded to 1,326 ft asl in 27 minutes, covering 154 nm, with brief level-offs at 26,500 ft asl and 4,800 ft asl. The final approach to runway 06L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport started from 1,350 ft agl and descended to 79 ft agl in 87 seconds.

Stabilisation checks were performed at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. The checks met gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings-level; the speed check was not met. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 1,345 ft agl with 217 kt, and final flap position 6 at 1,108 ft agl with 217 kt.

The aircraft touched down on runway 06L, whose length is 3,315 m. Threshold height at 59 ft agl was slightly above target and threshold speed was 178 kt, noted as too high. The flare was poor, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 407 m down the runway at 171 kt, which was too fast, and the vertical rate was very hard at minus 586 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 2,056 m, 62 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Local weather at landing was 22 °C with a wind 5 kt from 080°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind. The flight covered 771 nm in 110 minutes and used 7,958 kg of fuel.
