Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 172 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 32 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Fly a slightly steeper approach path to cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 84 ft agl.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 84 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, above the normal profile. This fault pattern is often followed by a long touchdown beyond the target point, and here the aircraft touched down at 566 m against a 457 m target.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 165 kt, 11 kt below the 176 kt target, and lifted off at 171 kt 2.3 s later, the nose coming up at 4.2° a second. Climb 3 averaged 172 kt, 32 kt under its 204 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 991 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 917 m of runway left; gear up at 510 ft, inside the 698 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,260 fpm on average to 991 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 3,195 m runway.

Rolled from 116 m in, drifted 5.3 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 64 % 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 EDDF 25R

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 130 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.

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 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +6 kt and +10 kt on the approach speed of 145 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 flare96.46

The flare tracked the target profile closely. The flare was flown from 84 ft agl over the threshold, well above the target height, so the aircraft was above the profile for most of the landing. Touchdown was 566 m past the threshold. The flare cannot recover height that was never lost - fly the approach down to the aim point and the flare has somewhere to start from.

The crosswind

11 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 153 kt. Touched down with 4° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 184° at 13 kt · 5 kt head · 11 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.

Side view — the last 1,733 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 84 ft, 34 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 10 ft. Touched down 566 m in, 262 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 1,733 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 640 fpm at the flare to 200 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.5° 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 Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area for 10 minutes, covering 1 nm, and departed from runway 30 at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport. Take-off was achieved after a roll of 2,055 m, using 64 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 165 kt. Local weather was 7 °C with wind 1 kt from 326°, giving a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 24 seconds, averaging 2,049 fpm and reaching 181 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,348 ft asl to 30,963 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 105 nm, beginning 1 mile north of South Riding. Cruise at 31,000 ft asl lasted 42 minutes over 345 nm, starting 2 miles east of Odessa. A further climb from 31,001 ft asl to 32,994 ft asl took 3 minutes and covered 26 nm, beginning 22 miles east of EM02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN69. Level flight between 33,000 ft asl and 35,000 ft asl continued for 325 minutes, covering 2,985 nm, also starting 46 miles east of EM02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN69.

Descent began from 35,010 ft asl to 1,785 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 167 nm, starting overhead Sprimont, with brief level-offs at 11,000 ft asl and 5,000 ft asl. The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport descended from 1,479 ft agl to 120 ft agl in 104 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. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,946 ft agl at 155 kt; final flap position 6 was selected at 2,864 ft agl at 182 kt.

Landing on runway 25R (length 2,790 m) had a threshold height of 84 ft agl, which was significantly above target, and a threshold speed of 152 kt, slightly above target. The flare was described as excellent, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 151 m beyond the touchdown zone at 153 kt, a little fast, with a fair rate of minus 200 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline. One bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,657 m, 59 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 16 minutes, covering 4 nm. The total flight covered 3,639 nm in 447 minutes and used 59,015 kg of fuel. Local weather at Frankfurt was 11 °C with wind 4 kt from 170°, giving a 1 kt headwind and a 4 kt crosswind.
