Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 152 kt, on the 154 kt target, and lifted off at 175 kt 4.9 s later, the nose coming up at 1.3° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 193 kt target, at 195 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 873 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 3,383 ft of runway left; gear up at 364 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,640 fpm on average to 873 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.

Rolled from 294 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 7 ft at the widest, and lifted off 7 ft left. Airborne 52 % 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 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 3.3 to 0.2 nm, then not again: low from 0.2 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.

The approach to KMEM 27

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 40 ft under).

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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 39 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 24 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +6 kt and +8 kt on the approach speed of 157 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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

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 162 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 46 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 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 5,931 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 22 ft, 88 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 17 ft, 33 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,126 ft in, close to 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 5,931 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 760 fpm at the flare to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.9° on the way down.

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 5,931 ft of the 8,927 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 19 ft left of the centreline, and steered back to 5 ft left by the end of the rollout.

Flight narrative

The MD-11 taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at KGSO Piedmont Triad International Airport; the movement required 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 23L the aircraft used 5,189 ft, representing 52 % of the runway, and lifted off at 176 kt. Ambient conditions were 84 °F with a 5-kt wind from 230°, providing a 5-kt headwind and no crosswind.

Climb commenced overhead KGSO, with the airplane ascending from 1,885 ft asl to 36,001 ft asl - a gain of 34,116 ft - in 16 minutes while covering 110 nm.

Level cruise began 4 nm north-east of Bakersville, lasting 35 minutes and spanning 281 nm; after the subsequent descent the aircraft entered a second cruise segment 3 nm south of Lakeland that lasted 3 minutes and covered 10 nm.

Descent started 9 nm south-west of Waverly, Tennessee, with the aircraft descending from 35,998 ft asl to 1,924 ft asl - a loss of 34,074 ft - in 18 minutes and traversing 107 nm.

The final approach to runway 27 at KMEM Memphis International Airport was executed from the east, on a heading of 276.0° at 4 nm and 1,012 ft agl.

Landing on runway 27, which is 8,927 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 164 kt; touchdown was recorded at 1,126 ft down the runway, at 158 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 74 fpm and a lateral offset of 20 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance was 5,701 ft, representing 64 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was very good.

The MD-11 taxied from the runway to the parking area, a taxi-in that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 515 nm, took 83 minutes, and consumed 22,764 lbs of fuel.
