What went well

Touched down at -161 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 54 ft and 139 kt — both inside band
Flare on profile — 100 %

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then landing lights off should be on; speed limits at 53 %, −2.08 points
Arrival Taxi — peak speed in a turn 21 kt at 56 %, −1.17 points
Departure Roll — Takeoff distance 1,714 m at 79 %, −0.28 points

Next time

Arrival

Adjust your approach path so you touch down at the 457 m aim point instead of beyond it.

What happened: Touchdown point came 211 m past the target, landing at 668 m against the 457 m aim point. Landings that touch down this far beyond the aim point typically leave less runway available for stopping.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Liftoff pitch close to a tail strike

The wheels left at 11.0°, 0.7° short of this aircraft's 11.7° tail strike.

The tail can only touch while the main wheels are still on the runway, so the margin that matters is the one at liftoff. Rotate at the rotate speed, at the normal rate, and let the aircraft fly itself off at its own attitude: keep the pull going towards the climb attitude only once the wheels have left. Rotating early, or pulling faster than the aircraft can lift off, is what eats the margin.

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.

Reached 35 ft with 131 m of runway left; gear up at 81 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,470 fpm on average to 945 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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The rotation detail below draws the rotation against the rates for this aircraft and its tail-strike pitch, where the slope reads properly. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Rotation detail the pitch over the seconds from rotation to 35 ft, where the slope reads properly.

How to read this

The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 35 ft, stretched so the slope reads properly. The green dot is where the nose started up, the grey band runs to the wheels leaving, and the figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up. The two dashed green lines rising from the rotation point are 2.1 to 2.9° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320ceo pilots over the last 180 days (230 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11.7°, the pitch at which this aircraft's tail touches the runway with the wheels still on it, drawn from rotation to liftoff only: once the wheels leave, every foot climbed adds tail clearance.

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 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 2.8° 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: 2.8° here, which is about 300 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 24× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 16 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 34 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 +23 kt on the approach speed of 137 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 aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 668 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

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

Crossed the threshold at 54 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft. Touched down 668 m in, 363 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 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 490 fpm at the flare to 160 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.1° on the way down. Into the flare at 139 kt, on the 137 kt approach speed, and 131 kt at touchdown.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 6.2 m right of the centreline and drifted to 9.9 m left on the rollout. 7 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 131 kt. Touched down with the nose 5° into wind, wings level.

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. 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo departed KPNS Pensacola International Airport on runway 35. The take-off roll used 1,714 m, about 80 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 140 kt. Local weather was 12 °C with a 10 kt wind from 349°, giving a 10 kt headwind and no cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 21 seconds, averaging 2,123 fpm and reaching 154 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,099 ft asl to 23,555 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering 48 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-east of Ferry Pass.

Cruise was maintained at 24,000 ft asl for 10 minutes, covering 63 nm, starting roughly 4 miles south of 96AL Bent Oak Airport, Bay Minette. Descent began from 23,996 ft asl to 1,223 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 95 nm, with the descent start point about 2 miles north of Saucier.

Final approach to runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport started from 1,270 ft agl and descended to 63 ft agl in 102 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 landing gear was lowered at 2,009 ft agl while the aircraft was at 220 kt; the final flap position 5 was selected at 1,498 ft agl with a speed of 185 kt.

The aircraft landed on runway 11, whose length is 3,075 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 140 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 246 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, a little fast, with a vertical rate of -161 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 6.2 m from the centreline. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,300 m, 42 % of the runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 9.9 m from the centreline.

Local weather at KMSY was 15 °C with a 12 kt wind from 040°, giving a 5 kt headwind and an 11 kt cross-wind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 213 nm in 45 minutes and consumed 1,861 kg of fuel.
