Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 2°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 138 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 153 kt against a target of 138 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 138 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 148 kt, on the 149 kt target, and lifted off at 158 kt 2.7 s later, the nose coming up at 3.4° a second. Climb 3 averaged 171 kt, 12 kt under its 183 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 894 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,210 m of runway left; gear up at 51 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,650 fpm on average to 894 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 3,671 m runway.

Rolled from 44 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 6.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.4 m left, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 32 % 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.

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

Never every check met at once: fast from 0.6 nm and left of the centreline from 0.5 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 NZQN 23

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 170 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.

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 413 m right of the centreline, then inside it from 0.8 to 0.5 nm, then 33 m left of it from 0.5 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.

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 from 4 nm to 0.6 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +19 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 flare86.92

The flare mostly held the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 3.0° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 675 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 6° right of the track, 3° of bank.

Wind 260° at 11 kt · 11 kt head · 0 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 134 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.50 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 45 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 26 ft. Touched down 675 m in, 371 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 1,524 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 went from 350 fpm at the flare to 90 fpm at 5 ft, then back up to 270 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.2° 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 Boeing 737 MAX 8 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Take-off distance was 1,173 m (32 % of runway) and rotation occurred at 148 kt. Local weather was 20 °C with wind 12 kt from 224°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 18 seconds, averaging 2,414 fpm and reaching 170 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,023 ft asl to 35,824 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 115 nm while remaining overhead Auckland.

Level flight was maintained at 36,000 ft asl for 49 minutes, covering 373 nm, beginning 21 miles north-west of New Plymouth.

Descent began from 36,003 ft asl to 2,603 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 103 nm, starting 6 miles east of Haast.

During final approach to runway 23 at NZQN Queenstown International Airport, descent from 1,453 ft agl to 200 ft agl took 94 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed and wings level; the check for centreline was not met. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,181 ft agl at 226 kt, and final flap position 8 was selected at 1,202 ft agl at 164 kt.

Landing was made on runway 23, runway length 1,832 m. Threshold height was good and threshold speed was well above target at 153 kt. The flare was described as great; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 256 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 kt, with a rate of -270 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline. Local weather was 22 °C with wind 11 kt from 260°, giving a headwind of 11 kt and no crosswind. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 1,097 m (60 % of runway) and runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing from the runway to parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 597 nm in 88 minutes and used 5 kg of fuel.
