What went well

Touchdown 1,538 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 32 ft and 162 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.9 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 100 %, −0.48 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -216 fpm at 88 %, −0.16 points

Next time

Arrival

Be established on the glideslope before the gate, with small corrections made early rather than a large one late.

What happened: The approach was off the glideslope at the stabilisation gate.

Watch for: Glideslope indication 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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 156 kt, on the 154 kt target, and lifted off at 176 kt 4.9 s later, the nose coming up at 1.2° a second. Climb 3 averaged 200 kt, 7 kt over its 193 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 902 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,419 ft of runway left; gear up at 65 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,350 fpm on average to 902 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 9,456 ft runway.

Rolled from 253 ft in, drifted right of the centreline, 6 ft at the widest, and lifted off 6 ft right. Airborne 58 % 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 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: glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.6 nm, about 690 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate.

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 KIND 05R

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 3.4 nm, then high to 1.9 nm (up to 410 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 280 ft 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 39 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 24 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +5 kt and +9 kt on the approach speed of 157 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

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 100° at 3 kt · 2 kt head · 2 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 156 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 34 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.

Side view — the last 5,944 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 32 ft, 18 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft. Touched down 1,538 ft in, 538 ft past 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 5,944 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 500 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.5° on the way down.

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.

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 MD-11 departed KPHL on runway 09L. The take-off roll was 5,505 ft, using 58 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 156 kt. Local weather was 65 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 089°, giving a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 21 seconds, averaging 2,379 fpm and reaching 201 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,004 ft asl to 35,981 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 103 nm and beginning about 1 mile west of National Park. Level flight was held at 36,000 ft asl for 43 minutes, covering 323 nm, starting roughly 3 miles north-west of Bendersville. Descent from 35,427 ft asl to 2,333 ft asl took 20 minutes and covered 117 nm, beginning about 4 miles north-east of Russia.

On final approach to runway 05R at KIND, descent from 1,483 ft agl to 47 ft agl was completed in 86 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, centreline, speed and wings level; the glideslope check was not met at one gate. Configuration was gear down at 2,457 ft agl with 190 kt, and final flap position 6 was selected at 1,538 ft agl with 169 kt.

Landing on runway 05R (runway length 9,991 ft) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 162 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 179 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 156 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 216 fpm, which was fair. Runway-touchdown alignment was perfect, there was no bounce, and the rollout alignment was perfect. Total landing distance was 5,689 ft, 57 % of the runway.

Local weather at KIND was 64 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 100°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 551 nm in 90 minutes and used 0 lb of fuel.
