What went well

Touched down at -269 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 1.39 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 98 %

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 73 ft agl was well above target at 61 %, −0.65 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 653 m at 79 %, −0.21 points
Arrival Taxi — Landing Lights at 45 %, −0.18 points

Next time

Arrival

Fly a slightly steeper approach path to cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 73 ft agl.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 73 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, above the normal profile. This fault pattern is often followed by a long touchdown beyond the target point, and here the aircraft touched down at 653 m against a 457 m target.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 947 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,235 m of runway left; gear up at 51 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,530 fpm on average to 947 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 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 2.1 to 4.2° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Boeing 737-800 pilots over the last 180 days (157 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°, 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.

When the approach was stable

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.

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 52× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 4 m off the centreline.

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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −1 kt and +15 kt on the approach speed of 141 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 flare tracked the target profile closely

The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 653 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.

Side view — the last 2,228 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 72 ft, 22 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 24 ft. Touched down 653 m in, 348 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 2,228 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 570 fpm at the flare to 270 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed. Into the flare at 145 kt, 4 kt over the 141 kt approach speed, and 143 kt at touchdown.

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 2,228 m of the 3,090 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down on the centreline and drifted to 8.3 m left on the rollout, back to 2.5 m left by the end. Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

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.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 143 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 36 s, an average deceleration of 0.16 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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-800 departed from runway 36L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. The take-off roll was 1,706 m, using 39 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 148 kt. Local weather was 10 °C with a 2 kt headwind from 348° and no cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 20 seconds, averaging 2,161 fpm and reaching 167 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 2,972 ft asl to 36,994 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 119 nm, beginning about 2 nm north-west of Paracuellos de Jarama. Cruise was level at 37,000 ft asl for 50 minutes, covering 380 nm, starting roughly 3 nm south of El Robledo.

Descent began from 37,005 ft asl to 2,804 ft asl in 31 minutes, covering 159 nm, with the descent start 12 nm south-east of GMMB Ben Slimane Airport. The final approach to runway 10 at GMMX Menara Airport descended from 1,289 ft agl to 70 ft agl in 94 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. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,963 ft agl, 179 kt; final flap position 7 at 1,398 ft agl, 164 kt.

Landing on runway 10 (runway length 3,090 m) had a threshold height of 73 ft agl, above target, and a threshold speed of 145 kt, described as good. The flare was excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 237 m beyond the touchdown zone at 143 kt, a little fast, with a fair rate of -269 fpm and perfect alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 2,150 m, 70 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 8.3 m.

Local weather at landing was 20 °C with a 4 kt headwind from 075° and 1 kt cross-wind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 669 nm in 117 minutes and used 4,333 kg of fuel.
