See Departure Roll

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 155 kt with 8.8° of pitch.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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 985 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,370 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,590 fpm on average to 985 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 135 m in, never more than 0.7 m off the centreline. Airborne 46 % 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 final from 4 nm.

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 110 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.

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.

Joined 558 m left of the centreline, then inside it from 3.4 to 2.8 nm, then drifted 113 m right between 2.8 and 2.3 nm, then inside the band from 2.3 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 crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 208° at 8 kt · 8 kt head · 1 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 124 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 27 s, an average deceleration of 0.19 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 21 ft, 29 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 198 m in, 106 m short of 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 grew from 310 fpm at 20 ft to 410 fpm at touchdown. 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 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 2.4 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 2.7 m of it down the rollout.

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 36C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) in Charlotte, North Carolina. The takeoff distance was 1,294 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with no wind at 8 degrees. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of KCLT and reaching an altitude of 36,167 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 97 nautical miles, took 13 minutes and involved an increase of 34,402 feet in altitude.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Johnson City, Tennessee. This cruise phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 242 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles north of Rushville, Indiana, and descending from 36,011 feet to 3,120 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered a distance of 157 nautical miles, took 23 minutes and involved a decrease of 32,891 feet in altitude.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 8 miles east of Kenwood, Illinois, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) was made from the north-east, with a heading of 220.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,092 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 198 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots, but the touchdown rate was hard at -415 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 208 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 803 meters, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 517 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 3,598 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
