Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 746 m at 68 %, −0.32 points

Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 158 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.

What happened: Touchdown point came 289 m past the target, landing at 746 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 161 kt, 3 kt above the 158 kt target, and lifted off at 164 kt 1.5 s later, the nose coming up at 2.1° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 168 kt target, at 173 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 938 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 569 m of runway left; gear up at 81 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,020 fpm on average to 938 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 3,292 m runway.

Rolled from 136 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 10 m at the widest, and lifted off 10 m left, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 62 % 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 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.4 nm, about 550 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.

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 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 7× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 1.7 nm, then drifted 58 m left between 1.7 and 1.4 nm, then inside the band from 1.4 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 37 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −4 kt and +5 kt on the approach speed of 147 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.

The flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 746 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The crosswind

4 kt across from the left, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 136 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 229° at 13 kt · 12 kt head · 4 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 125 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 19 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 53 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 23 ft. Touched down 746 m in, 441 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 640 fpm at the flare to 140 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.8° 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.

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 A321ceo departed from runway 32 at LSZH Zürich Airport. The take-off roll used 2,056 m, which was 62 % of the runway. Rotation was achieved at 161 kt. Local weather at departure was 12 °C with wind 6 kt from 240°, giving a 6 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 1,893 fpm and reaching 170 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 2,387 ft asl to 20,018 ft asl in 11 minutes, covering 68 nm, beginning the segment overhead Niederglatt / Grafschaft. Cruise level flight was held at 20,000 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 39 nm, starting overhead Nufringen.

Descent began from 20,003 ft asl and proceeded to 1,503 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 70 nm. The descent started 1 mile north-east of Bad Rappenau and included a brief level-off at 4,000 ft asl. The final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport descended from 1,191 ft agl to 45 ft agl in 107 seconds.

Stabilisation checks were performed at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. The checks met gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed, and wings level. The check for centreline was not met at one gate. Configuration on final was flap position 5 at 2,740 ft agl with a speed of 175 kt.

Landing on runway 25L (runway length 3,986 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 149 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 324 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 kt, with a smooth rate of -138 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 3.9 m. Local weather at landing was 11 °C with wind 12 kt from 225°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind. No bounce occurred.

The total landing distance was 1,404 m, which is 35 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 12.5 m. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.

The overall flight covered 185 nm in 44 minutes and used 2,100 kg of fuel.
