What held you back

Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 29 %, 500 ft gate 29 %, −4.76 points
Arrival Rollout — GPWS warning; Landing distance 3,263 m at 19 %, Runway alignment max 10.13 m right at 74 %, −3.23 points
Enroute Climb — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then GPWS warning; bank angle up to 73.2 ° at 34 %, g force 0.64 to 2.74 g at 73 %, −1.95 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 161 kt well before the gate.

What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 201 kt against the 161 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 1,556 m against the 457 m target.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt at the threshold

See Arrival ApproachArrival 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.

Lifted off at 147 kt with 5.4° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 190 kt, 19 kt under its 209 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 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 913 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft 74 m past the runway end; gear up at 22 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,480 fpm on average to 913 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 2,135 m runway.

Rolled from 19 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 5.5 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.1 m left, in 7 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 97 % of the way down the runway, past 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.

Never every check met at once: gear up all the way, fast all the way, sinking too fast until 0.4 nm, low from 0.6 nm and right of the centreline from 0.3 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 final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

High from 3.7 nm, where the final began, to 1.3 nm (up to 940 ft over), then back on it to 0.6 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 100 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: 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 12× larger than distances along the final.

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.

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 flare91.24

The flare held the target profile well. Crossing the threshold 41 kt above target, the flare began at 10 ft agl above the runway, lower than this type wants. Touchdown was 1,556 m past the threshold. Begin raising the nose earlier - a late flare leaves no time to arrest the sink.

The crosswind

10 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 163 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 180° at 13 kt · 6 kt tail · 10 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.

Side view — the last 3,329 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 26 ft, 24 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 10 ft; ballooned 5 ft from 3 ft. Touched down 1,556 m in, 1,251 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 3,329 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 130 fpm before coming down at 150 fpm to touch. The nose came up 1.4° 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

Departure from LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) commenced on runway 22, where the B‑2 Spirit achieved liftoff after a takeoff distance of 2,045 m, corresponding to 96 % of the available runway. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 148 kt under local conditions of 29 °C, a 14 kt wind from 180°, with an 8 kt crosswind and a 12 kt headwind. Following departure, the aircraft entered a brief level cruise over Woodside, New York, maintaining altitude for 2 minutes while covering 8 nm before initiating a climb.

The climb began 1 mile southwest of the Financial District, New York, where the aircraft increased altitude from 843 ft ASL to 4,795 ft ASL, a gain of 3,952 ft achieved in 2 minutes over a distance of 11 nm. Descent commenced 1 mile south of Coney Island, New York, with a reduction from 4,836 ft ASL to 4,020 ft ASL, a loss of 816 ft in 2 minutes across 11 nm. A subsequent level cruise started 2 miles southwest of Atlantic Beach, New York, lasting 2 minutes and covering 15 nm before the aircraft entered final approach to runway 31L at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). The approach path was from the southeast, heading 301.0°, at 3 nm and 1,836 ft AGL.

Landing on runway 31L at KJFK, the aircraft touched down 1,155 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 162 kt, with a touchdown rate of –100 fpm and a runway alignment that was slightly misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline. The touchdown speed was noted as excessively high at 202 kt, and the threshold speed was also high. The total landing distance was 3,263 m, representing 95 % of the runway length of 3,423 m. After touchdown, taxiing to the parking area required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered a distance of 53 nm, consumed 2,467 kg of fuel, and took 14 minutes.
