Next time

Departure

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

What happened: The aircraft drifted 11 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.3° of bank in the first climb segment and 1.9° still showing in the second.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Stop raising the nose once the sink is arrested at 11 ft, holding that pitch steady through touchdown rather than further.

What happened: The nose came up 2.1° in the flare, leaving pitch well above this type's ground attitude at touchdown. Carrying that much pitch through touchdown usually carries a bounce after it.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold pitch at the normal ground attitude through touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 165 kt with 7.8° of pitch.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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 951 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,311 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,450 fpm on average to 951 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 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.

The approach to EGGW 25

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 40 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° 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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −0 kt and +14 kt on the approach speed of 138 kt.

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 crosswind

3 kt across from the left, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 130 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, wings level.

Wind 239° at 14 kt · 14 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 116 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 23 s, an average deceleration of 0.20 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 1,567 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 470 fpm at 56 ft to 90 fpm at 18 ft, then back up to 300 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.5° 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.

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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL), with a takeoff distance of 1,549 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots blowing from 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Harmondsworth in Greater London, England. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,094 feet above sea level to 5,767 feet, an increase of 4,674 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Farnham Royal in Buckinghamshire, England. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Harlow in Essex, England, and descended from 5,937 feet to 4,257 feet, a decrease of 1,680 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Little Hadham in Hertfordshire, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile south of Cottered in Hertfordshire, England, and the aircraft descended from 3,873 feet to 1,794 feet, a decrease of 2,079 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25 at London Luton Airport (EGGW) was made from the east, with a heading of 255.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 25, which had a length of 2,074 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 140 knots.

The touchdown point was 279 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots blowing from 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,474 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 67 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used 913 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
