What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 ft agl at 0 %, −2.50 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 65 ft agl was above target at 78 %, −0.63 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 772 m at 66 %, −0.43 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.

What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.

Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 120 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 65 ft agl, 15 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 133 kt, 13 kt over the 120 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 315 m beyond the aim point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 120 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 137 kt, 5 kt below the 142 kt target, and lifted off at 157 kt 2.8 s later, the nose coming up at 1.9° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 183 kt target, at 184 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.

Reached 35 ft with 2,685 m of runway left; then climbing at 5,140 fpm on average to 1,223 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.

Plan view the roll down the 3,671 m runway.

Rolled from 77 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 7.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.2 m left, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 20 % 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

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.8 to 1.5 nm, then not again: fast from 1.5 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 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 40 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, 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.

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 flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. Crossing the threshold 14 kt above target, the aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 772 m past the threshold. The flare cannot burn off excess energy - fix the approach speed and the float goes with it.

The crosswind

6 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 119 kt. Touched down with the nose 6° into wind, wings level.

Wind 220° at 12 kt · 10 kt head · 6 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 108 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 20 s, an average deceleration of 0.20 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 65 ft, 15 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 37 ft. Touched down 772 m in, 467 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 450 fpm at the flare to 140 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.0° 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.

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 737 MAX 8 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff was performed using 746 m of runway, which is 20 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 137 kt. Local weather at departure was 19 °C with wind 12 kt from 220°, giving a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 12 seconds, averaging 3,452 fpm and reaching 183 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 998 ft asl to 1,548 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, remaining overhead Auckland. Level cruise was held at 1,400 ft asl for 4 minutes, covering 12 nm and beginning about 2 miles south of the airport.

During final approach to runway 23L, descent was from 1,318 ft agl to 89 ft agl in 108 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, and wings level; they were not met for centreline and speed at the respective gates.

Landing was made on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height at 65 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed was well above target at 134 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 349 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 119 kt, which was a little fast, with a smooth descent rate of minus 135 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline, but there was no bounce. Runway rollout alignment was perfect and the total landing distance was 1,058 m, 29 % of the runway.

The flight covered 21 nm in 7 minutes and consumed 694 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 18 °C with wind 12 kt from 220°, giving a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.
