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 421 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 321 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 144 kt, 9 kt below the 153 kt target, and lifted off at 158 kt 6.0 s later, the nose coming up at 1.6° a second. Climb 3 averaged 154 kt, 10 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 985 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 545 m of runway left; gear up at 19 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,740 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 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 2,736 m runway.

Rolled from 110 m in, drifted 3.9 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 69 % 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 0.4 nm, then not again: low from 0.4 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 KSFO 28L

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

Profile height against the 2.8° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 60 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, 305 m past the threshold: 2.8° here, which is about 300 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 61 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 −2 kt and +26 kt on the approach speed of 138 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 flare90.99

The flare mostly held the target profile. Pitch reached 8.6° at touchdown, well above this aircraft's ground attitude. Touchdown was 519 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

3 kt across from the right, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 128 kt. Touched down with the nose 2° into wind, wings level.

Wind 020° at 4 kt · 1 kt head · 3 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 130 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 33 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.

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 1,647 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 700 fpm at the flare to 320 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.9° on the way down.

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 KBZN on runway 12. The take-off roll used 1,891 m, which was 69 % of the runway. Rotation was achieved at 144 kt. Local weather was 21 °C with a wind 11 kt from 169°, giving a 6 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 20 seconds, averaging 2,298 fpm and reaching 152 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 5,504 ft asl to 36,009 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 95 nm and beginning 1 mile south-east of Belgrade.

The aircraft level-flew at 36,000 ft asl for 85 minutes, covering 562 nm, starting 17 miles west of Dillon.

Descent began at 35,996 ft asl and proceeded to 1,244 ft asl in 23 minutes, covering 123 nm, starting 5 miles north of Esparto.

On final approach to KSFO runway 28L, descent from 1,246 ft agl to 36 ft agl was completed in 94 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. The landing gear was lowered at 1,497 ft agl at 180 kt; the final flap position 5 was selected at 959 ft agl at 153 kt.

Landing on runway 28L (runway length 3,371 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 kt. The flare was described as very good, though the nose was raised too far. Touchdown occurred 99 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 128 kt, which was good, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 322 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was perfect. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 6 kt from 020°, giving a 6 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,561 m, 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

Taxi from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 791 nm in 136 minutes and used 5,322 kg of fuel.
