Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 156 kt, 6 kt above the 150 kt target, and lifted off at 166 kt 1.4 s later, the nose coming up at 2.4° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 202 kt target, at 197 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 844 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,518 m of runway left; gear up at 49 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 3,210 fpm on average to 844 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 3,671 m runway.

Rolled from 55 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 2.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.6 m right, in 9 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 24 % 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 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

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 NZAA 23L

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 210 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 18 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 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +0 kt and +18 kt on the approach speed of 130 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 flare80.31

The flare wandered off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 2.5° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 468 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

7 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 125 kt. Touched down with the nose 14° into wind, wings level.

Wind 219° at 14 kt · 12 kt head · 7 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 115 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 37 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 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 37 ft, 13 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 21 ft. Touched down 468 m in, 163 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 400 fpm at the flare to 300 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.5° 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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 8.9 m right of the centreline, and steered back to 3.1 m left by the end of the rollout.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-1000 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff used 894 m, 24 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 156 kt. Local weather at departure was 18 °C with wind 18 kt from 220°, giving a 9 kt cross-wind component and a 15 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 13 seconds, averaging 2,829 fpm and reaching 200 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 963 ft asl to 2,354 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, remaining overhead Auckland.

During cruise the flight covered 24 nm in 12 minutes, using 1,425 kg of fuel. Descent began from 2,319 ft asl to 1,498 ft asl over 5 minutes and 14 nm, starting 2 miles south-west of NZAA with a brief level-off at 1,500 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 23L descended from 1,494 ft agl to 56 ft agl in 113 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level.

Landing was on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 132 kt. The flare was described as good, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 468 m down the runway at 125 kt, a speed judged good, with a touchdown rate of minus 296 fpm (fair). The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.9 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 959 m, 26 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 3 minutes, covering 1 nm. Local weather at landing was 18 °C with wind 15 kt from 220°, giving an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind component.
