What went well

Touched down at -136 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 382 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.69 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 95 %, −0.13 points

Next time

Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 138 kt with 7.9° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 169 kt, 11 kt over its 158 kt target.

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 934 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,105 m of runway left; gear up at 22 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,890 fpm on average to 934 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 2,621 m runway.

Rolled from 86 m in, never more than 1.2 m off the centreline. Airborne 48 % 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.

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 KLAX 24R

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 20 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, 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.

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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −6 kt and +29 kt on the approach speed of 118 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 flare94.97

The flare held the target profile well. Pitch reached 8.0° at touchdown, well above this type's ground attitude. Touchdown was 382 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

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

Wind 260° at 7 kt · 7 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 95 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 65 s, an average deceleration of 0.05 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 high, at 48 ft, 47 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 38 ft, 12 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 382 m in, 77 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 660 fpm at the flare to 140 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.2° 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

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Sacramento International Airport (KSMF) took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The RJ85 aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 35L, utilizing 48% of the 1,268-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25°C, with a wind of 7 knots at 329°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from KSMF, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport, ascending from 1,011 feet above sea level to 30,481 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 174 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase overhead Selma, California, lasting 10 minutes and covering 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its enroute descent 9 miles southwest of the Belridge Strip (1CA1), descending from 30,977 feet to 14,914 feet in 11 minutes, covering 80 nautical miles. The descent phase was interspersed with several level cruise phases, including a 14-minute cruise at 3 miles south of Moorpark, covering 6 nautical miles, and a 3-minute cruise overhead Bell Gardens, covering 8 nautical miles.

The RJ85 aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), descending from 12,691 feet to 2,571 feet in 12 minutes, covering 47 nautical miles. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 100 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -133 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 894 meters, utilizing 33% of the 2,713-meter runway. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 11 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 404 nautical miles, with a flight time of 98 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,637 kilograms.
