Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 79 kt fast at 249 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 139 kt rather than carrying excess speed.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 152 kt, 13 kt above the 139 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 0.3° 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: 139 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

High on final, the pilot dives to the aim point, converting altitude directly into airspeed, and arrives on-glideslope but 15 knots fast. The vertical profile looks fine; the speed trace does not. It is one of the reasons the stabilised-approach concept - configured, on speed, on path by a gate, commonly 1,000 ft in IMC and 500 ft in VMC - checks speed and path together, and why the tolerances airlines use are asymmetric, typically allowing more on the fast side than the slow, because slow kills faster than fast.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 139 kt, on the 138 kt target, and lifted off at 150 kt 2.1 s later, the nose coming up at 2.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 249 kt, 79 kt over its 170 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.

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 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 1.8 nm, then not again: fast from 1.2 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.

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 70 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 6× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 1.8 nm, then drifted 59 m left between 1.8 and 0.8 nm, then inside the band from 0.8 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.

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.

The flare42.03

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 0.3° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 268 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 0 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 149 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 39 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 53 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 10 ft. Touched down 268 m in, close to 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 1,524 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 stayed between 710 fpm and 730 fpm from the flare to the runway. The pitch barely changed.

How to read this

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 A320neo departed from runway 29 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport. Take-off was performed after a roll of 646 m (28 % of the runway) and rotation occurred at 139 kt. Local weather was 17 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and no cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 45 seconds, averaging 984 fpm and reaching 248 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,212 ft asl to 15,446 ft asl in 5 minutes while covering 22 nm, starting overhead Ursus. Level flight was held at 16,000 ft asl for 10 minutes, covering 54 nm, beginning 2 nm north-west of Aleksandrow. A further climb from 15,997 ft asl to 18,921 ft asl lasted 3 minutes and covered 22 nm, starting 3 nm west of Przedecz.

Descent began from 18,931 ft asl and continued to 1,627 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 86 nm, starting 1 nm north-east of Kleczew, with brief level-offs at 7,000 ft asl and 6,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 29 at EPKS Krzesiny Military Air Base started with a descent from 1,400 ft agl to 80 ft agl in 89 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed and wings level; the centreline check was not met at one gate. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 1,807 ft agl, 259 kt and final flap position 3 at 1,688 ft agl, 208 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 29. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 152 kt. The flare was described as very poor, with little round-out. Touchdown was recorded at 149 kt, a little fast, and the vertical rate was very heavy at minus 733 fpm. Touchdown distance was good at 267 m, though the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 878 m (35 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was perfect.

Local weather at the destination was 15 °C with wind 1 kt from 269°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and no cross-wind. Taxi from the runway to parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 192 nm in 40 minutes and used 664 kg of fuel.
