What went well

Touchdown 1,156 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 29 ft and 163 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.4 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Firm touchdown — 246 fpm, −0.35 points across the landing and the touchdown
  • Arrival Touchdown · sink rate 246 fpm−0.23
  • Arrival Landing · flare: the descent was not taken out−0.11
Departure Roll — Strobe Lights at 0 %, −0.33 points

Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 162 kt, 9 kt above the 153 kt target, and lifted off at 174 kt 4.4 s later, the nose coming up at 1.6° a second. Climb 3 averaged 186 kt, 7 kt under its 193 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 896 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,921 ft of runway left; gear up at 62 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,050 fpm on average to 896 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 11,126 ft runway.

Rolled from 299 ft in, never more than 3 ft off the centreline. Airborne 61 % 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 KOAK 30

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 100 ft below 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, 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 31× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 40 ft 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 40 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 +2 kt and +5 kt on the approach speed of 161 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 flare93.16

The flare held the target profile well. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.3° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 1,156 ft past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

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 159 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 51 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 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 7,290 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 29 ft, 21 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 20 ft. Touched down 1,156 ft in, 156 ft past 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 7,290 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 530 fpm at the flare to 250 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.3° 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 MD-11 taxied from the parking area to runway 18C at KMEM for 8 minutes, covering 1 nm, and then departed. Takeoff used 6,825 ft of runway (61 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 162 kt. Local weather was 74 °F, wind 3 kt from 079°, cross-wind 2 kt, head-wind 0 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 24 seconds, averaging 2,044 fpm and reaching 187 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 1,276 ft asl to 31,999 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 117 nm, beginning 1 mile south of KMEM.

Cruise continued at 32,000 ft asl for 87 minutes, covering 700 nm, starting 2 miles south-west of 1AR6. A subsequent climb from 31,986 ft asl to 33,999 ft asl took 3 minutes over 25 nm, beginning 6 miles south-west of Buena Vista. Level flight at 34,000 ft asl lasted 88 minutes, covering 629 nm, starting 5 miles east of 0CO2.

Descent began from 33,996 ft asl to 1,213 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 102 nm, starting 6 miles north-east of E45.

Final approach to runway 30 at KOAK started from 1,253 ft agl and descended to 56 ft agl in 85 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration on final: landing gear down at 2,210 ft agl at 195 kt; final flap position 6 at 1,811 ft agl at 182 kt.

Landing on runway 30 (runway length 10,398 ft) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 164 kt. The flare was described as great, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 1,156 ft down the runway at 159 kt, a little fast, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 246 fpm and perfect alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 7,040 ft (68 % of runway) and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was 50 °F, wind 0 kt from 360°, cross-wind 0 kt, head-wind 0 kt.

After landing, the MD-11 taxied to the parking area for 7 minutes, covering 1 nm. The flight covered a total of 1,584 nm in 233 minutes and used 73,134 lb of fuel.
