Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 75 kt fast at 245 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

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 848 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 528 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

Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 137 kt, 17 kt below the 154 kt target, and lifted off at 158 kt 4.9 s later, the nose coming up at 1.8° a second. Climb 3 averaged 245 kt, 75 kt over its 170 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 924 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,612 m of runway left; gear up at 126 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,300 fpm on average to 924 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 4,864 m runway.

Rolled from 420 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 1.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.3 m right. Airborne 36 % 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 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.

At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 2.0 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 2.0 nm and low 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.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.3 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: 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 4× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 2.0 nm, then 65 m right of it from 2.0 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 37 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +6 kt and +12 kt on the approach speed of 147 kt.

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 flare81.07

The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare arrested the sink and then let it come back - 848 fpm of it - so the aircraft dropped the last few feet. Touchdown was 433 m past the threshold. Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 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 154 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 63 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 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.

Began the flare at 42 ft, 327 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 6 ft, 44 ft below the 50 ft target; ballooned 5 ft from 6 ft. Touched down 433 m in, 128 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 160 fpm before coming down at 530 fpm to touch. The nose went down 0.8° 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 A320neo departed from runway 34R at OTHH Hamad International Airport. Take-off used 1,764 m of runway (36 % of runway) and rotation occurred at 137 kt. The local weather was 17 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 0 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 40 seconds, averaging 1,159 fpm and reaching 246 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 981 ft asl to 25,748 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering 49 nm, beginning the climb 2 miles north of OTHH.

Cruise was maintained at 26,000 ft asl for 424 minutes, covering 3,056 nm, with the cruise segment starting 14 miles west of OTUI Umm Sa’id Airport.

Descent began from 25,853 ft asl to 3,238 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 82 nm, starting 9 miles north-west of Canete, with a brief level-off at 15,200 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport started with a descent from 1,303 ft agl to 43 ft agl in 86 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 centreline check was not met at one gate. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,556 ft agl, 262 kt; final flap position 3 was selected at 2,602 ft agl, 217 kt.

Landing on runway 32R (runway length 2,996 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 153 kt. The flare was described as very good; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 433 m down the runway at 149 kt, noted as a little fast, with a very hard touchdown rate of minus 528 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.8 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,105 m (37 % of runway) and rollout alignment was very good.

Taxiing from the runway to parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 3,197 nm in 458 minutes and used 9,836 kg of fuel.
