Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 164 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 146 kt against a target of 164 kt, running 18 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 164 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 815 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 522 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 15.4° and 21.7°, and the speed between 144 kt and 153 kt.

Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.

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.

Reached 35 ft with 1,257 m of runway left; gear up at 327 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,270 fpm on average to 1,002 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 2.9° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320ceo pilots over the last 180 days (237 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 0.7 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 0.7 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.

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 flare wandered off the target profile

The flare ballooned 14 ft agl back up from 4 ft agl above the runway, 658 m in. Touchdown was 820 m past the threshold. It was on speed over the threshold, so this was more back pressure than the speed could take: raise the nose more slowly and stop as soon as the sink is checked. Once it has ballooned, hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing.

Side view — the last 1,780 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 54 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 28 ft; ballooned 14 ft from 4 ft. Touched down 820 m in, 516 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 1,780 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.

Wind 190° at 13 kt · 3 kt head · 12 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 A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 3 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 25. The aircraft used 1,749 m of runway, which is 52 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 138 kt. Local weather at departure was 13 °C, wind 2 kt from 359°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 23 seconds, averaging 2,116 fpm and reaching 149 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 2,314 ft asl to 28,497 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 95 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-east of Leinfelden-Echterdingen. Cruise was level at 29,000 ft asl for 37 minutes, covering 312 nm, starting overhead Tuchenbach. Descent from 29,024 ft asl to 1,943 ft asl took 28 minutes and covered 146 nm, beginning 2 miles south-west of Wegorzyno.

On final approach to runway 11 at EPGD Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,513 ft agl to 49 ft agl in 103 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 4,045 ft agl, 200 kt; final flap position 5 at 3,054 ft agl, 160 kt.

A go-around was executed on runway 11 at 7 ft agl.

A second final approach to runway 11 followed, descending from 1,583 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 102 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft were again met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration remained landing gear down at 4,045 ft agl, 200 kt; final flap position 5 at 3,054 ft agl, 160 kt.

Landing on runway 11 was completed with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 kt. The flare was described as good, though the aircraft ballooned in the flare. Touchdown occurred 397 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 120 kt, which was noted as good. The touchdown rate was very hard at minus 523 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was very good; there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,692 m, representing 61 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 10.6 m.

Local weather at landing was 2 °C, wind 7 kt from 195°, with a 7 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered a total of 622 nm in 110 minutes and used 4,558 kg of fuel.
