Straight touchdown — 2.01 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.23 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Taxi — peak taxi speed 108 kt at 0 %, Landing Lights at 1 %, −3.00 points
Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.95 points

  • Arrival Touchdown · sink rate 297 fpm−0.36
  • Arrival Landing · flare: the descent was not taken out−0.33

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 123 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 139 kt, well above the 123 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 123 kt on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 156 kt, 8 kt above the 148 kt target, and lifted off at 165 kt 1.5 s later, the nose coming up at 2.3° a second. Climb 3 averaged 184 kt, 9 kt over its 175 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 871 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,580 m of runway left; gear up at 117 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 3,680 fpm on average to 871 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 39 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 2 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.4 m right, in 8 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 23 % 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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed.

At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.8 to 2.0 nm, then not again: fast from 1.1 nm and left of the centreline from 0.3 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 270 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.

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.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 2.0 nm, then drifted 68 m left between 2.0 and 0.9 nm, then back inside it from 0.9 to 0.3 nm, then 15 m left of it from 0.3 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.

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 flare73.05

The flare wandered off the target profile. Crossing the threshold 16 kt above target, the flare began at 1 ft agl above the runway, lower than this aircraft wants. Touchdown was 430 m past the threshold. Begin raising the nose earlier - a late flare leaves no time to arrest the sink.

The crosswind

8 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 134 kt. Touched down with the nose 7° left of the track, away from the wind, 3° of bank.

Wind 270° at 27 kt · 25 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 115 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 16 s, an average deceleration of 0.27 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 44 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 1 ft. Touched down 430 m in, 125 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 stayed between 300 fpm and 310 fpm from the flare to the runway. The pitch barely changed.

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 2 m left of the centreline and drifted to 5.9 m left on the rollout, back to 2.5 m left by the end.

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 Airbus A350-900 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff used 846 m, which is 23 % of the runway, and rotation was achieved at 156 kt. Local weather at departure was 21 °C with wind 31 kt from 270°, giving a cross-wind component of 11 kt and a head-wind component of 29 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 12 seconds, averaging 3,384 fpm and reaching 182 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,224 ft asl to 2,385 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, starting overhead Auckland.

Cruise was brief; the flight covered a total of 23 nm in 14 minutes and burned 8,859 kg of fuel.

Descent began from 2,369 ft asl to 1,518 ft asl over 4 minutes, covering 13 nm, starting 2 miles south-west of NZAA. A brief level-off occurred at 1,500 ft asl. The final approach to runway 23L descended from 1,502 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 115 seconds.

Stabilisation checks were performed at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. The checks that were met included gear down, landing flap, on glideslope, on speed, and wings level. The checks not met were sink rate (at one gate) and centreline (at one gate).

Landing was on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m and has a good threshold height. Threshold speed was well above target at 139 kt. The flare was described as good, although it started late. Touchdown occurred 430 m down the runway at 134 kt, which was fast, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 297 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 829 m, 23 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Local weather at landing was 18 °C with wind 30 kt from 270°, giving a cross-wind component of 10 kt and a head-wind component of 29 kt.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking, covering 1 nm in 6 minutes.
