What went well

Touched down at -76 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 43 ft and 139 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 13.6 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Taxi — peak taxi speed 42 kt at 39 %, −1.64 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 151 kt against 170 kt at 92 %, −0.27 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,048 ft at 82 %, −0.20 points

Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 151 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Adjust your approach path so you touch down at the 1,500 ft aim point instead of beyond it.

What happened: Touchdown point came 548 ft past the target, landing at 2,048 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point. Landings that touch down this far beyond the aim point typically leave less runway available for stopping.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 1,500 ft from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

A slow rotation

The nose came up at 146 kt against the 143 kt rotate speed, and rose at 1.5° a second, slower than the 2.0 to 3.0 other Airbus A320neo pilots fly.

The rotation started on speed but the nose came up slowly. Make it one positive, continuous pull at the normal rate for this aircraft, rather than easing the nose up in steps.

Plan view the roll down the 10,008 ft runway.

Rolled from 399 ft in, drifted 15 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 60 % 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.

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 2.0 to 3.0° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320neo pilots over the last 180 days (154 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 11.7°, 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, 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. 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 23 ft. Touched down 2,048 ft in, 1,048 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.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,987 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 14 ft right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 19 ft right at the widest. 5 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 132 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 329° at 6 kt · 3 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320neo departed runway 36C at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Rotation was at 146 kt and the take-off roll used 6,016 ft, about 60 % of the runway. Local weather was 56 °F with wind 8 kt from 027°, a 4 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 73 seconds, averaging 1,649 fpm and reaching 155 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 1,591 ft asl to 30,856 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 60 nm, beginning about 1 mile north of KCLT. Cruise level flight was at 31,000 ft asl for 22 minutes, covering 52 nm, starting roughly 2 miles north-west of Inman Mills.

Descent began at 30,872 ft asl and proceeded to 3,170 ft asl in 57 minutes, covering 85 nm, starting about 3 miles south-east of Westminster, with brief level-offs at 9,000 ft asl and 8,000 ft asl. A subsequent level segment at 2,700 ft asl lasted 10 minutes and covered 9 nm, beginning 3 miles north of 8GA0 Pinetree Heliport Cumming.

Final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport descended from 1,315 ft agl to 31 ft agl in 287 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. The aircraft was in final flap position 3 at 6,824 ft agl with a speed of 177 kt.

Landing on runway 26R (runway length 8,987 ft) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 589 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt, with a rate of -76 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 14 ft from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 4,446 ft, 49 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Local weather at KATL was 51 °F with wind 6 kt from 329°, a 5 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 232 nm in 156 minutes and used 3,337 lb of fuel.
