Next time

Arrival

Stop raising the nose once the sink is arrested at 0.2 ft, holding that pitch steady through touchdown rather than further.

What happened: The nose came up 3.6° in the flare, leaving pitch well above this type's ground attitude at touchdown. Carrying that much pitch through touchdown usually carries a bounce after it.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold pitch at the normal ground attitude through touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 147 kt, on the 146 kt target, and lifted off at 158 kt 3.8 s later, the nose coming up at 2.4° a second. Climb 3 averaged 179 kt, 15 kt over 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 919 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 835 m of runway left; gear up at 66 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,020 fpm on average to 919 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 2,788 m runway.

Rolled from 108 m in, never more than 1.5 m off the centreline. Airborne 59 % 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 3.5 nm, about 1,200 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 1,000 ft gate, so through both gates. The last to settle was the speed.

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 EVRA 36

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 60 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 26 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 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 3.5 nm (up to +46 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 flare93.02

The flare held the target profile well. Pitch reached 7.7° at touchdown, well above this aircraft's ground attitude. Touchdown was 399 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, 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.

Side view — the last 1,593 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 45 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 21 ft. Touched down 399 m in, 94 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 1,593 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 500 fpm at the flare to 240 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.6° 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 A320-ceo departed ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport on runway 35. The take-off roll used 1,645 m, which was 59 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 147 kt. Local weather was 13 °C with a 12 kt wind from 340°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 25 seconds, averaging 1,900 fpm and reaching 180 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,208 ft asl to 36,966 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 101 nm and beginning about 1 mile north of the departure airport.

Cruise was level at 37,000 ft asl for 25 minutes, covering 166 nm, starting 14 miles south-east of Torhamn.

Descent began at 37,004 ft asl and proceeded to 1,613 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 118 nm, starting 7 miles north of Karosta.

Final approach to runway 36 at EVRA Riga International Airport descended from 1,626 ft agl to 286 ft agl in 106 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. The aircraft was configured with landing gear down at 1,900 ft agl and 214 kt, and final flap position 5 at 869 ft agl and 143 kt.

Landing on runway 36 used a threshold speed of 134 kt, described as good. The flare was noted as great, although the nose was raised too far. Touchdown occurred at 132 kt, a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 239 fpm, which was fair. Touchdown distance was good at 399 m, and the touchdown point was 7.6 m off the centreline. One bounce occurred on touchdown. Total landing distance was 1,510 m, 47 % of the 3,233 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at the airport was 7 °C with a 1 kt wind from 288°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind component.

After landing, taxiing to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The flight covered a total of 393 nm in 77 minutes and consumed 2,768 kg of fuel.
