See Arrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

86 % The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare took all the sink out 14 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft settled on from there, 506 fpm of sink coming back, having crossed the threshold below target speed. Touchdown was 375 m past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 10.8° and 17.8°, and the speed between 163 kt and 174 kt.

Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.

Plan view the roll down the 3,891 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted right of the centreline, 2 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.4 m left, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 36 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 905 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,147 m of runway left; gear up at 79 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,490 fpm on average to 905 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 4.2° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Boeing 737-800 pilots over the last 180 days (157 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°, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Side view — the last 1,657 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 41 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft. Touched down 375 m in, 70 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 1,657 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.

Touched down 1.6 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 2 m of it down the rollout. 5 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 135 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 220° at 14 kt · 13 kt head · 5 kt across

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 Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 08 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport, a taxi of 19 minutes covering 2 nm.

Takeoff on runway 08 used 1,423 m (37 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 145 kt. The local weather was 13 °C with wind 11 kt from 299°, a 5 kt crosswind and a 10 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 19 seconds, averaging 2,050 fpm and reaching 174 kt at the top. The climb continued from 6,351 ft asl to 34,986 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 130 nm, beginning 1 mile east of KABQ.

The aircraft level-flew at 35,000 ft asl for 85 minutes, covering 728 nm, starting 8 miles west of E61 Conchas Lake Seaplane Base.

Descent from 34,997 ft asl to 1,890 ft asl took 27 minutes over 172 nm, beginning overhead Henning.

On final approach to runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport, the descent from 1,337 ft agl to 11 ft agl lasted 97 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 1,460 ft agl, 190 kt; final flap position 8 at 945 ft agl, 151 kt.

A go-around was executed on runway 20L at KBNA at 0 ft agl.

A second final approach to runway 20L descended from 1,348 ft agl to 21 ft agl in 100 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft were again met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration remained gear down at 1,460 ft agl, 190 kt; flap 8 at 945 ft agl, 151 kt.

Landing on runway 20L (runway length 2,440 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 375 m down the runway at 135 kt, a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 272 fpm and very good runway alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,577 m, 65 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

The local weather at landing was 21 °C with wind 13 kt from 200°, a 0 kt crosswind and a 13 kt headwind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 1,093 nm in 162 minutes and used 6,618 kg of fuel.
