Straight touchdown — 2.6 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 22.5 ° at 46 %, −0.90 points
Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 81 %, −0.33 points
Arrival Final 1 — bank angle up to 10.9 ° at 81 %, −0.26 points

Next time

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

See Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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

Lifted off at 77 kt with 5.4° of pitch.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Reached 35 ft with 3,546 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,780 fpm on average to 814 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 80 ft below 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, 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 1,100 ft right of the centreline at 1.2 nm, then inside the band from 0.6 nm to the threshold.

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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −2 kt and +7 kt on the approach speed of 80 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.

8 kt across from the left, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 62 kt. Touched down with 7° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 110° at 15 kt · 14 kt head · 8 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 44 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 12 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 26 ft, 24 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,695 ft in, 695 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 5,000 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 460 fpm at 24 ft to 10 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.9° 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.

Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 9 ft of it down the rollout.

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 liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots at 110 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed out of Jandakot, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 21,517 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The climb started from an initial altitude of 939 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 20,579 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 147 minutes and covered a distance of 600 nautical miles. This phase began 7 miles west of Jindalee, a location in the State of Western Australia, Australia.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 13 miles southeast of YCWY Coolawanyah Airport Coolawanyah Station. The descent from 21,683 feet above sea level to 5,546 feet above sea level took 23 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase began 21 miles southwest of YPPD Port Hedland International Airport Port Hedland.

The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 16 miles southwest of YPPD Port Hedland International Airport. The descent from 4,945 feet above sea level to 438 feet above sea level took 8 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile south of YPPD Port Hedland International Airport.

The final approach to runway 14 at YPPD Port Hedland International Airport was made from the north-west, with a heading of 136.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 201 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 14 was successful, with a touchdown point located 239 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 62 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -10 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 15 knots at 110 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,336 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 730 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 202 minutes. The aircraft used 283 pounds of fuel during the flight.
