Next time

Departure

Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 2°.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level

See Departure Climb 1

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 484 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 380 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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 143 kt, 3 kt above the 140 kt target, and lifted off at 154 kt 4.5 s later, the nose coming up at 1.3° a second. Climb 3 averaged 156 kt, 8 kt under its 164 kt target.

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 897 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 161 m of runway left; gear up at 46 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,040 fpm on average to 897 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 2,436 m runway.

Rolled from 77 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 4 m at the widest, and lifted off 4 m right. Airborne 73 % 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.

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.

The approach to KDEN 35R

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

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 120 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. 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 34 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 +0 kt and +5 kt on the approach speed of 137 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 flare92.44

The flare held the target profile well. The flare arrested the sink and then let it come back - 484 fpm of it - so the aircraft dropped the last few feet. Touchdown was 774 m past the threshold. Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established.

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 139 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 39 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 2,429 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 19 ft; ballooned 3 ft from 2 ft. Touched down 774 m in, 469 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 2,429 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 120 fpm before coming down at 380 fpm to touch. The nose came up 1.1° 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo departed from runway 02C at KBNA Nashville International Airport. The take-off roll used 1,789 m, 73 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 143 kt. Local weather was 21 °C with wind 4 kt from 039°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 24 seconds, averaging 1,854 fpm and reaching 153 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 1,517 ft asl to 36,009 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 115 nm while remaining overhead KBNA.

Cruise was level at 36,000 ft asl for 93 minutes, covering 650 nm, beginning about 1 mile west of Fancy Farm. Descent began from 36,029 ft asl to 21,619 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 75 nm, starting 2 miles east of 5CO0 Windy Plains Airport, Cheyenne Wells.

A further level segment at 21,000 ft asl lasted 8 minutes, covering 45 nm, beginning 4 miles north-west of Limon. The next descent from 20,658 ft asl to 6,763 ft asl took 21 minutes, covering 91 nm, starting 8 miles east of CD15 Schantz Airstrip, Simla, with brief level-offs at 9,000 ft asl and 7,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 35R at KDEN Denver International Airport began with a descent from 1,474 ft agl to 104 ft agl in 87 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration on final was flap 3 at 1,131 ft agl with a speed of 211 kt.

Landing on runway 35R used the full runway length of 3,661 m. The threshold speed was 137 kt, described as good. The flare was noted as great; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 356 m beyond the touchdown zone at 127 kt, which was fast, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 381 fpm and very good runway alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 2,348 m, 64 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 7 °C with wind 10 kt from 120°, a 9 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt tail-wind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 10 minutes, covering 2 nm. The entire flight covered 988 nm in 181 minutes and consumed 6,258 kg of fuel.
